Haiti Earthquake

On Saturday 14th August, Haiti was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that destroyed homes and caused widespread destruction. A 5.2 magnitude aftershock caused further damage. Over 1,200 people have died and thousands were injured and are now homeless.

ADRA is on the ground providing relief. Plans are being made to distribute food, water, hygiene items, and tent tarpaulins to affected families. ADRA is also collaborating with a nearby Adventist hospital to assist those who were injured. However, the people of Haiti need your help as the country braces for a strong tropical storm that is expected to make landfall on Tuesday.

Our response to COVID-19 in Fiji

So far, more than 1,000 families in Fiji have been assisted as part of our COVID-19 response. The response has been in the form of food rations and financial assistance. “A lot of Fijians are in dire need of food and their livelihoods have been greatly affected due to the COVID-19 crisis,” says ADRA Fiji Country Director, Iliapi Tuwai. COVID-19 awareness campaigns are also underway, aiming to educate the population about precautionary measures to minimise the spread.

Deadly disasters often strike without warning.
