Haiti

I'm not even going to pretend to be a news source for what is going on in Haiti right now. All I am going to say is that these people are severely, completely and honestly fucked. Food, water and other supplies are starting to reach Port-au-Prince, but the airport (and, reportedly, the seaport) is in such a state of destruction, that they are having trouble simply unloading the necessities off the planes and boats, much less dispersing them among the population. Right now, the Red Cross is estimating that 45,000 to 50,000 are dead. That number could climb as the days wear on and people simply can't get anything to drink. Please pray for this impoverished country as they continue to struggle.

There are several organizations that are already set up to help.
The American Red Cross
UNICEF
Save the Children

You can text HAITI to "90999" to automatically donate $10 to the American Red Cross. The charge will show up on you wireless bill. CNN is reporting that this , in addition to efforts started on FaceBook and Twitter, have already helped raise $3 million. We need to keep this momentum going. It is going to take years to rebuild--$3 million could be spent in the next few days easily.

President Obama, along with former presidents Clinton and Bush (W.), are working round the clock in an attempt to best serve the victims of the earthquake, and are trying to get both military and civilian relief workers to clear roads, so supplies can be distributed. It's nice to see that, if only for a moment, we are able to put our political differences aside to help those less fortunate. I Hope You're Not Squeamish offers full accolades to all world leaders and volunteers who are using their influence, or their hands, or whatever they have, to help.
