Haiti Earthquake Kills 2200+, Impacts 1.2 million

PRAY WITH US about Haiti earthquake kills, that God will:

Clear the roads and communication channels for food, water, health supplies and rebuilding materials. And open doors for the gospel to spread to the poor, the grieving and the broken-hearted.
Block the way of enemy efforts to steal, kill and destroy any further. Also, stop the spread of Covid-19 and any other diseases. And turn gangs away from violence and toward Jesus Christ.
Help churches and families to rebuild stronger than before. And release a massive revival both in and out of doors.

PRAYER ALERT: Haiti Earthquake Kills 2200+, Impacts 1.2 million

More than 2200 have died in the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit southwestern Haiti on August 14. Also, 10,000s of houses have collapsed. The quake left 100,000s of Haitians with little or no access to food, shelter or medical help.

The World Food Program estimates that 215,000 need emergency food assistance. In all, the quake has dramatically affected 1.2 million Haitians. And half of them are children.

Samaritan’s Purse opened a field hospital on August 21. The high demand has already overwhelmed most Haitian hospitals. Moreover, WHO has warned that cholera, dengue, meningitis and other diseases might break out. Also, Covid-19 continues to spread. So UNICEF is rushing medicine, water, and hygiene and sanitation supplies to affected areas.

But flooding, mudslides and debris are blocking many roads. Gangs are hijacking aid trucks. And crowds are fighting over food bags.

So the World Food Program is using air and sea routes as well as roads to transport essential supplies. A UN helicopter is transporting their staff and aid supplies to the quake-hit areas. They seek $2.5 million for that operation.
