Following the massive January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, AMURT and AMURTEL Haiti's experienced teams have been running child-friendly spaces, coordinating distributions in relief camps, and running post trauma stress management programs for women, amongst other activities.

Facing one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the Western hemisphere, American Airlines and American Eagle have supplied 400000 lbs of relief supplies to Haiti to date.

Through our AAdvantage program partnership with the American Red Cross, members have generously donated more than 1.5 million dollars to the relief efforts.
This is a brief thank you video for all the "Unsung Heroes" who are making a difference in helping with the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Eric Hausler's trip to Petit Goave, Haiti. [Part 1]
Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti. Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici. The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

Update from Susan Finucane, Program Officer, Concern Worldwide US Susan Finucane is Program Officer for Concern Worldwide US, but only a few months ago, lived and worked in Haiti as Documentation Officer for Concern. After the catastrophic earthquake on January 12, she was immediately deployed to Port-au-Prince with members of Concern's Rapid Deployment Unit to help our team on the ground respond to the humanitarian crisis that has left 3.5 million in need of food, water, shelter, and medicine. She sent the following update directly from the field last night.
Additional police and troops are being sent to Haiti to bolster security amid relief efforts in the wake of last weeks deadly earthquake. For many earthquake victims, even six days after the disaster, the story is still one of frustration as aid is only slowly getting through. While at the airport the debate rages over the prioritising of military flights over civilian aid flights, in makeshift relief camps some earthquake victims are going hungry while others are fighting for food. Al Jazeera's Mike Kirsch reports on the situation from Port-au-Prince. (Jan 19, 09)
