One of ECB’s official charities is the World Food Programme (WFP) and the recent events in Haiti has meant they are urgently scaling up and managing a complex food relief operation for two million people.
We are passing on this message from them to you in the hope that you can help them make a difference...
"The reality of the devastation and profound suffering that the people of Haiti are experiencing is heartbreaking.
Each day the number of victims rises and medical facilities are being stretched beyond capacity. People are living out in the open and orphaned children are now in charge of their younger siblings.
WFP teams are mobilized and ready–to–eat foods have started to reach the hungry. And this is just the beginning. Planes and helicopters are being mobilized and WFP is spearheading a massive logistics and emergency telecommunications operation on behalf of the entire humanitarian community.
Many of you have given your support during these past days and the results have been incredible. We would like to extend to you our deepest gratitude on behalf of all the Haitians who have been helped, thanks to you.
We will continue to need your help! WFP’s Emergency Operation requires US$ 246 million to feed two million people for the next six months.
Even a small amount will ensure that at least one more person in Haiti will not go hungry."
