IYCW Urgent Appeal - Early in the morning of 14 August 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti, causing hospitals, schools and homes to collapse, claiming thousands of lives, and leaving communities in crisis. An estimated 1.2 million people, including 540,000 children, have been affected by the powerful earthquake.

Children and their families urgently need health care and clean water. Those who are displaced need shelter. Children who have been separated from their families amidst the chaos need protection.

The authorities have reported more than 2,200 people dead, at least 344 missing, over 12,000 injured and upwards of 130,000 homes damaged or destroyed.

The IYCW, the ICA, YCW Haiti and Weltnotwerk are sending this urgent appeal together, calling to help our brothers and sisters in the affected area.
