Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |

 

International organizations are donating millions to help victims of the earthquake in Haiti. It's devastated much of the country's capital killing tens of thousands of people.

The World Bank will provide an additional 100-million US dollars in emergency funding. And the European Commission has provided three-million euros in initial aid.

Enough energy biscuits to feed 30-thousand people for a week, have been airlifted to survivors by the World Food Program.
