STATEMENT BY WFP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOSETTE SHEERAN
ON DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI

The World Food Programme (WFP) is deeply saddened by the loss of life and widespread destruction in Haiti and we are mobilising all available resources to provide urgently needed food assistance as part of a swift and coordinated recovery effort.

Our thoughts are with families who have lost loved ones and those whose lives have been shattered.

WFP is already deploying resources in Haiti to assist those affected by this disaster. WFP is immediately airlifting an additional 86 metric tons of food from its emergency hub in El Salvador, which will provide more than half a million emergency meals.

In the initial stages of this crisis, WFP will be providing significant quantities of ready to eat food that can be consumed immediately by those who have no access to cooking facilities. High energy biscuits will also be distributed to those who have lost their homes and can no longer feed themselves.

We will work with the Haitian government, with our humanitarian partners on the ground, and with governments across the world, as part of a coordinated international rescue and recovery effort.

WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. In 2010 WFP aims to feed more than 90 million people in 73 countries.

The destruction and loss of life in Haiti causes us all to take stock in what is really important. This small country has endured so much – more than its fair share of tragedy. I can’t imagine the devastation that has struck an already weakened infrastructure. Critical services needed for recovery, such as schools and hospitals, have been destroyed.

The people of Haiti need our help immediately. Money will be needed to provide urgent emergency relief and I urge everyone who can afford to help to either donate to UNICEF’s emergency relief fund at www.unicef.org or text the word YELE to 501501 on your U.S. cell phone (this will charge your phone $5 – it will go to Wyclef Jean’s foundation which is playing a major role in the relief effort. For more information, see www.yele.org).

We must all act. As a global community, we must be part of the recovery of Haiti and its people.

Thank you.

we all know that I'm a GaGa fan, but I really think that she should participate in this kind of charity more often. She does help with the gay community a lot, but things like this are so much more devastating and they really could use so much help. I would like her to vary the ways she helps others.

Do you not remember the feed the hungry campaign she did a few months ago

How is this getting press for the album when it not even coming out in march? Christina is not one of those people that has to announce how much money she gives out etc. She is more of a private donor. That does not mean she does not use the media to her advantage to get more donations
