The humanitarian response to the 2010 Haitian earthquake included national governments and charitable organizations from around the world which began coordinating humanitarian aid designed to help the Haitian people. Some countries arranged to send relief and rescue workers and humanitarian supplies directly to the earthquake damage zones, while others sought to organize national fund raising to provide monetary support for the nonprofit groups working directly in Haiti. OCHA and ReliefWeb are coordinating and tracking this on a daily basis.[1]
Canada and the United States have taken leading roles in the massive humanitarian assistance. These two countries give the most financial aid to Haiti. Both have pledged more than 1000 troops to provide peacekeeping assistance, security and humanitarian aid, as well as numerous naval vessels.
