Haiti Disaster Appeal [19/Jan/10]

Dublin Civil Defence will be collecting for donations to assist Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) most notably their aid efforts in Haiti following the recent events there.

Médecins Sans Frontières are an Independent Humanitarian Medical Aid Agency and have had their hospitals in Haiti destroyed by the earthquake on January 12th.

The situation in Port-au-Prince days after the earthquake remains dire. Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams remain focused on trying to cope with the huge demand for life-saving surgery from those who suffered terrible injuries in the quake. They are doing that by stretching their existing resources, running operating theatres to the limit by working around the clock, while at the same time trying to create more capacity by finding new premises and transporting in mobile structures, including an inflatable hospital with operating theatres.
