Larry King interview: International Medical Corps Mobilizes for Emergency Response to Haiti


On January 12, a 7.0 earthquake struck 10 miles south of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

  • Estimated 2.5 to 3 million people are expected be affected.
  • Earthquake triggered mudslides, collapsed buildings, and knocked out power and communications lines.
  • Injuries and loss of life are predicted to be substantial.
  • People reportedly trapped under rubble and much of Port-au-Prince is destroyed.

Already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti struggles with widespread poverty with 70 percent of its population living on less than two dollars a day.

International Medical Corps’ Emergency Response Team is on the way to Haiti, focusing on providing lifesaving medical care and relief to survivors of this devastating earthquake.

The response draws on 25 years of experience in emergency settings, including last September’s earthquake in Sumatra, Indonesia, and the massive 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.
