It is hard to believe that more than three weeks have passed since Haiti was devastated by what is now being called the worst natural disaster of the century. For those fortunate enough to survive, the catastrophe is still unfolding. More than one million people are homeless. Water is scarce; medical teams and supplies are in short supply.
.
Here is the latest news on the Joint Distribution Committee's (JDC) ongoing relief efforts:
JDC has embarked on a partnership with local Haitian NGO ProDev Foundation to place 115 water tanks in Port-au-Prince that will provide clean drinking water to hundreds of thousands of quake victims living in tent villages. JDC is also funding several water supply projects through the International Rescue Committee to provide sources of clean, potable water in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding community.
