DEC Haiti Appeal - watch and give

The BBC estimated in its recent report that 14 million meals are needed to feed the people of earthquake stricken Haiti now. Three million people, a sum equivalent to half the population of Scotland, now urgently need food and water. Once those basic, immediate needs are met, there's going to be a longer term need for help with food, shelter and rebuilding.

This is the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal broadcast last night.



You can give here or by phoning 0370 60 60 900.

How you can help Haiti - DEC appeal goes live

We will all have seen the harrowing news reports about the Haiti earthquake, reports of badly injured people being left in hospital grounds to die because there isn't the medical help to treat them, people living out in the open with no access to food or water.

The quicker help can get there, the more lives can be saved in the immediate few days and then there will be a long process of rebuilding and helping the people who have lost everything they have.

The Disasters Emergency Committee launched their Haiti Earthquake appeal at midnight. When the broadcast is available, I'll post it on here. In the meantime, you can call 0370 60 60 900 to make a donation here
