Disaster Overview
A catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, leveling the capital city of Port-au-Prince and affecting millions. The devastation left over 200,000 dead, 300,000 injured, and 1.5 million people displaced. As one of the poorest countries in the world, Haiti lacked the infrastructure and resources to cope with such an immense disaster. The sheer scale of human suffering made it impossible for us to stand by. IFA deployed alongside the Israeli national delegation to deliver critical aid and support.

Impact
IFA’s medical personnel volunteered at the IDF’s field hospital, treating the wounded in the heart of the disaster zone. Our trauma specialists visited six orphanages, offering emotional support to children deeply affected by the catastrophe. We also adopted one orphanage housing 76 girls — rebuilding their home and committing to a year and a half of ongoing financial and medical support, helping restore stability and hope to their lives.
