The haiti disaster and how you can help


The haiti disaster and how you can help

The canadian government will match every dollar Canadians give to the relief effort in Haiti.

According to Bev Oda, Minister of International Cooperation.

“Our government is prepared to match their contributions dollar for dollar,” up to a maximum of $50 million.

The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) will hand out these funds to Canadian and international humanitarian and development organizations.

The death toll from Haiti’s earthquake could be between 45,000 and 50,000, with a further 3 million people hurt or homeless in an increasingly desperate country, a senior Haitian Red Cross official said Thursday.

At least 1,500 bodies were stacked inside and outside the morgue of Port-au-Prince’s General Hospital Thursday before noon, as pick-up trucks continued to deliver the dead from Tuesday’s earthquake, the hospital’s director said.
