s the death toll mounts in
the aftermath of the devas-
tating earthquake in Haiti,
the organized Jewish world is lining up
support for the rescue and relief effort
in the region.
With Haiti's government struggling
to cope with the aftermath of the lat-
est quake, which officials said may
have killed hundreds of thousands,
governments and relief agencies from
around the world are pouring into the
impoverished Caribbean country to
help rescue thousands believed to be
trapped under the rubble.
IsraAID, the Israel Forum for
International Humanitarian Aid,
dispatched a 12-person search-and-
rescue team to Haiti. The coordinating
body of Israeli and Jewish organiza-
tions, IsraAID also was considering
sending a field hospital, including doc-
tors and medical equipment, as well
as humanitarian aid. Shaare Zedek
Medical Center in Jerusalem had
personnel part of the Israeli Foreign
Ministry's search and rescue mission.
Israel's in-Haiti team was at expected
to be at least 220 people.
Meanwhile, the list of Jewish non-
profits that have opened mailboxes
to help raise money for the rescue
and relief effort was growing quickly,
and the Israel Defense Forces' Home
Front Command sent a delegation that
included engineering, medical, logis-
tics and rescue experts.
IsraAID and the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee (JDC)
are funneling Jewish communal sup-
port into Haiti, and the American
Jewish World Service (AJWS) is
collecting donations for its Haiti
Earthquake Relief Fund at www.ajws.
org/haitiearthquake.
"Our longstanding partnerships
with grass-roots organizations in Haiti
allow us to reach the poorest and most
remote populations with the speed
necessary to save lives',' said Aaron
Dorfman, AJWS vice president.
JDC sounded a similar message.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with
the people of Haiti in the wake of this
overwhelming disaster and, as we did

following Hurricane Gustav in 2008,
JDC will leverage its strong partner-
ships in the region to respond quickly
and compassionately to the needs of
those affected;' said Steven Schwager,
JDC's chief executive officer. "Now
and in the months to come, JDC will
provide both immediate relief as well
as long-term assistance to help the
Haitian people rebuild their lives."
Money can be donated to that effort
through www.jdc.org .
The earthquake was the strongest in
Haiti in 200 years. The National Palace
and United Nations peacekeeper head-
quarters were among the many build-
ings that suffered damage.

Federations
The Jewish Federations of North
America is partnering with the
American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee (JDC) to provide aid and
relief to victims of the devastating
earthquake.
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake
struck about 10 miles southwest of the
Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on
Tuesdayafternoon, Jan. 12. The worst
earthquake ever experienced by Haiti
has left thousands dead and injured.
Some 3 million Haitians may face hard-
ship in the aftermath of this disaster.
More than 200,000 are believed dead.
The Jewish Federations is coordi-
nating with The Jewish Coalition for
Disaster Relief, which brings together
the experience, expertise and additional
resources of North American Jewish
organizations to assist victims of natu-
ral or man-made disasters on a non-
sectarian basis.
The coalition, managed by JDC, con-
sists of organizations such as the Union
for Reform Judaism, United Synagogue
of Conservative Judaism, World ORT,
Jewish Council for Public Affairs,
American Jewish World Service and
American Jewish Committee, to name a
few. The coalition's work maximizes the
resources, coordinates the activities of
its member agencies, informs the pub-
lic about the disaster situation and the
Jewish response, and demonstrates the
long tradition of Jewish humanitarian-
ism during times of crisis.
In the wake of the Southeast Asia
tsunami, the Federation movement
raised more than $10 million for the
JDC's $18 million-plus relief effort.
