Dear friend,

My name is Edryne Michel. I’m Mercy Corps’ Head of Office in Haiti.

I want to share an update following the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that
recently struck my home country of Haiti. [ [link removed] ]As you read, if you’re moved
to help, we invite you to support emergency relief efforts in places like
Haiti and around the world.

In L’Asile, the epicenter of the earthquake, about 50% of homes have been
destroyed and 90% are damaged. Relia, a mother of three children, is one
of thousands of Haitians who lost her home: "My house is completely
destroyed. All my things are under the rubble. We have no clothes. We have
nothing."

Hard-hit L’Asile is located in a rural, mountainous area which is
extremely difficult to access. Unpaved roads and damage from the
earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace have made it nearly impossible for
large trucks carrying supplies to reach communities in need. Despite these
challenges, our team is working quickly to coordinate relief efforts,
using motorbikes to navigate damaged routes and identify areas in most
need.

People need clean water, medicine, shelter, soap, and cleaning supplies —
particularly important with the spread of the Delta variant as only 0.1%
of Haitians are vaccinated. Our teams are working to distribute essential
supplies for affected communities. We’re also making plans to provide cash
assistance to help people purchase what they need most and support local
markets.

These response efforts are led by Haitians, with global support from
people like you. Since the earthquake struck, more than 600 new supporters
have made a gift to help fuel this kind of work in places like Haiti and
around the globe. [ [link removed] ]Will you join your fellow
humanitarians by making your first gift today?

Our teams were here before the earthquake, and we will be here long after
the media coverage fades, helping our communities rebuild and recover from
this earthquake and from other challenges facing Haiti, including
violence, hunger, and the effects of the climate crisis. [ [link removed] ]Your support
helps make this work possible in places like Haiti and in countries across
the world.

With gratitude,
