Give to help the people of Haiti

On January 12, 2010, the Caribbean country of Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake, killing tens of thousands of people and creating what the UN describes as one of the worst humanitarian disaster in decades.

International aid organisation Oxfam says the scene on the ground in Haiti, already one of the poorest countries in the world, “is one of worsening chaos, and increasing desperation.

“As rescuers still search rubble for the last survivors, thousands of terrified people are sleeping in the streets, or leaving the city for makeshift camps,” the organisation says.
