RI Sends Relief Teams to Haiti

Relief International is dispatching Emergency Response teams to Haiti in response to yesterday's deadly 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Thousands of people are estimated dead, and tens of thousands have been injured. Public infrastructure, such as hospitals and government buildings, has collapsed as well as private housing. As a result standing hospitals are overwhelmed with victims, and thousands are left homeless. The victims of this disaster need your help today. As the number of injured survivors grows and the needs mount, you can directly help provide immediate lifesaving services to women, children and elderly.
