A devastating earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck Haiti on 12 January 2010, killing hundreds and affecting thousands more.
The British Red Cross has already released £200,000 from its Disaster Fund to support the relief effort. However the sheer scale of this disaster means much more will be needed.
Red Cross volunteers in Haiti are currently assisting the injured and supporting hospitals.
The earthquake hit the capital Port-au-Prince and other areas of the country. The most affected area is Haiti's West Province with a population of 2.2 million.
The most urgent needs at this time are search and rescue, hospital care, emergency health, clean water, emergency shelter, and logistics.
The Red Cross has pre-positioned relief supplies for 3,000 families in Haiti. These emergency supplies consist of kitchen kits, shelter kits and tarpaulins, personal hygiene kits, blankets and containers for storing drinking water.
A group of experts in disaster response, emergency health and logistics, sent by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, has been deployed to support the Haitian Red Cross in the relief efforts.
Please give what you can today to help thousands of people in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.
In the event that we raise more money than can be reasonably and efficiently spent, any surplus funds will be used to help us prepare for and respond to other humanitarian disasters either overseas or here in the UK.
