Friend, Haiti is our neighbor and it is devastating to see its people suffer like this. Even before this earthquake, one in four Haitians faced acute food insecurity, their COVID-19 infection rates were dangerously high, and political instability and violence were at all-time highs. This earthquake couldn’t have come at a worse time. |

At our last report, the death toll had reached nearly 2,000, with more than 9,900 people injured and at least 500,000 in need of emergency assistance. UNICEF is distributing emergency shelters and safe water supplies as quickly as we can, and using our tents and medical gear to support makeshift hospitals for the injured.
Friend, thousands of supporters have given to our Haiti relief efforts. We are so grateful, but there’s much, much more to do. |

Thank you,
