The humanitarian response by non-governmental organizations to the 2010 Haiti earthquake included many organizations, including international, religious, and regionally based NGOs, which immediately pledged support in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Besides a large multi-contingency contribution by national governments, NGOs contributed significantly to both on-the-ground rescue efforts and external solicitation of aid for the rescue efforts. ==International== * Oxfam International - International relief and development agency Oxfam International raised emergency funds to assist relief and rehabilitation efforts on the ground. Oxfam committed to assisting in the rebuilding efforts in Haiti both in the short and long term. Immediate responses included providing clean water, shelter, and sanitation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Major earthquake in Haiti )〕 * International Committee of the Red Cross - The Red Cross sent tonnes of supplies and hundreds of personnel, and established field hospitals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ICRC aid to Haiti )〕 The number of emergency teams sent to Haiti was equal to the total sent to all 14 countries affect by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. An investigation later found that the Red Cross had only succeeded in building six permanent homes with the 500 million USD raised in aid. * Food for the Poor - Food for the Poor has been able to provide relief to Haiti through the acquisition and delivery of more than 7,100 tons of food, medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, building materials and other goods. The rice, beans, canned goods and water shipped into Haiti were used to provide more than 20 million meals. *Mercy & Sharing immediately responded by partnering with 18 organizations to distribute aid to school children and abandoned orphans. Mercy & Sharing is a Haitian-registered, non-profit organization operating in Haiti to rescue abused, abandoned, and disabled children.〔Mercy & Sharing, (Annual Report ), 2011〕 * World Vision International - World Vision had relief items stored in Haiti in preparation for hurricane season, which it began distributing immediately, although the medical supplies, blankets, tents and other supplies from the Pétionville office quickly ran low. The first flight with 18 metric tonnes of World Vision relief supplies left the organization's Denver, Colorado, United States warehouse on 14 January, and arrived in Port-au-Prince the following night, providing emergency goods for more than 1,000 families, including tarps for temporary shelter; blankets, collapsible water containers, cooking sets and hygiene kits that contain a month’s supply of soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes and more for a family of five.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Haiti: Distributions continue, new aid arriving )〕 The organization's facility in Haiti was damaged, but none of the staff were injured. World Vision subsequently coordinated additional relief flights from their warehouses in Dubai, Panama, Germany, Canada and Denver, carrying the following supplies: tarps, collapsible water containers, shovels, hygiene kits, kitchen sets, blankets, radio equipment, and mosquito nets. World Vision then signed an agreement with Air Serv International to provide one light aircraft to transport people and cargo (14,000 lbs capacity) between Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince. The first flights began 19 Jan, making two rotations per day. According to relief staff, these flights significantly improved transports of staff and goods. * Télécoms sans frontières sent teams to establish two calling centers each in the southwestern Port-au-Prince regions of Place Saint Pierre and Boyer.〔(''Earthquake in Haïti: TSF deploys its teams'' )〕 * SOS Children delivered 21 tonnes of aid to Haiti by road by 21 January. They also brought supplies to Haiti by cargo plane, and had around 60 staff present. In support of their work, they received a £1 million donation from HSBC, and Swedish businessman Roger Hakelius donated US $14 million to support and educate approximately 400 orphan children in Haiti over a 25-year period. * Humanity First, particularly from Canada, the US and the UK, sent teams of doctors to Haiti. The teams saw at least 10,000 patients. The Humanity First team also shipped 5 tonnes of aid to Haiti. It deployed water infrastructure at a camp to provide daily water to 7,000 people, and had worked to install 2 more filtration units elsewhere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Humanity First )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humanitarian response by non-governmental organizations to the 2010 Haiti earthquake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
