Dear Friends,
Recent reports indicate that the numbers affected by the earthquake are astounding: 200,000 fatalities; 200,000 more injured; 1,000,000 left homeless. 750,000 are living in makeshift camps in and around Port-au-Prince, while nearly 250,000 have already fled to other areas throughout Haiti. It is estimated that even with international assistance, it will take five to ten years for Haiti to rebuild.
The International Disaster Emergency Service (IDES, Christian Church – Churches of Christ USA) continues to develop partnerships with missionaries, national evangelists, orphanages, and other ministries within the Christian Church / Churches of Christ to bring assistance where it is urgently needed. In the first two weeks of the disaster, we released emergency response funds to people on the front lines of the relief effort. This weekend the IDES Board approved the first round of longer range projects aimed at caring for the ongoing needs of survivors, bringing additional food into the country, deploying an assessment team, and helping our mission partners to restore their properties to operating condition.
