immediate relief service with a focus on food aid, water, sanitation,

I send also send prayers to the folks impacted by the 6.5 quake, in
Erueka (Northern California Coast), where 26,000 people were shaken
and threated by a Tsunami only four days prior to the Hati quake:

Devastating Earthquake Hits Haiti
Humanity First Prepares for Relief Work and Accepting Donations
Dear supporter of Humanity First,
You are receiving this email as you have been a supporter of
Humanity First and its mission to serve humanity worldwide,
regardless of color, race, nationality, or faith.
Situation
As you must have heard or read in the news, a 7.0 magnitude
earthquake has wreaked havoc in the impoverished Caribbean island of
Haiti. The earthquake struck yesterday at 5 pm EST in a highly
populated region 17 km from the capital city of Port-au-Prince.
Thousands are feared dead, many buildings have collapsed and the
under-developed infrastructure has been severely damaged. The island
has never experienced an earthquake of this intensity before and
sadly, the death toll following this destructive event is expected
to rise.
What Humanity First is Doing
Humanity First is deploying its Disaster Response team to the
affected areas with emergency supplies. Preliminary relief efforts
will be concentrated on food aid, water, sanitation, medical
assistance, and emotional support. Humanity First has a proven track
record of providing significant and valuable support to various
natural disasters in the past, and we are determined to provide
immediate relief services to the victims this time as well.
