2. How many troops are currently in Haiti?
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent sent to Haiti more than 400 volunteers and staff. In addition, before the earthquake, the Haitian Red Cross had about 1,000 volunteers in Puerto Principe. It is unclear exactly how many survived and are eligible for help, but many victims have been working tirelessly since the earthquake on Tuesday, January 12, 210. Examples of volunteer work of the Haitian Red Cross in the article.
3. Why so much aid sent through the Dominican Republic?
Port au Prince airport can only handle the landing of four aircraft per hour, sometimes less. The port was damaged and so far can not be used. Because of these problems, is faster than the planes landing in the Dominican Republic and then send relief supplies by land.
4. I have family in Haiti. Can you help me find them?
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent has an online search service through the ICRC to help restore contact between separated family members. In this website offers people of Haiti and the rest of the world to publish their own names or those of people who want to reestablish contact. Those who want to know what happened to their loved ones can enroll in the registry of the site: www.icrc.org / familylinks

5. How I can help the Haitian people?
So far, the best thing to do is donate money. Decades of experience have taught us that giving money to teams of Red Cross and Red Crescent managing the response is the best way for those in need receive directly and as soon as they need. So you can buy Nearest providers, just the materials most needed by victims and ensure they are appropriate for the climate, culture and other local conditions. All that can save time, cut transportation costs and, ultimately, do the most good with your financial gift.
6. How to donate money to help Haiti?
