THE LATEST NEWS:

Massive coordination efforts involving dozens of aid groups, the Haitian government, the United Nations and the U.S. military was under way to get food, water, tents and other supplies to survivors
Hospitals in Port-au-Prince have collapsed, and the few facilities still open can’t handle the needs of the injured. The United States and other countries were dispatching medical supplies, facilities and personnel.
Precise casualty estimates were impossible to determine. Haitian President Rene Preval said Wednesday that he had heard estimates of up to 50,000 dead but that it was too early to know for sure. The Haitian prime minister said he worries that several hundred thousand people were killed.
Aftershocks continue to jolt the region, causing further fear and panic among residents

Thankfully President Obama has responded in a quick manner. He has promised the people of Haiti that they ”will not be forsaken.” There have been plenty of ignorant comments made and I will not acknowledge them on my blog but I had to post something on this terrible situation. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people affected. I also donated online. If there was anyway possible I would be more than willing to travel to Haiti and help in any way that I could. If you haven’t already please DONATE!
