Haiti was hit by another devastating earthquake on August 14, leaving more than 1,400 people dead and 6000 injured or still missing. The 7.2-magnitude quake—more powerful than the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in 2010 and Hurricane Matthew in 2016—has destroyed many homes, schools, churches, hospitals and several more buildings, leaving many people without shelter and medical supplies.

In the aftermath of the tragic incident and as the search for survivors continues, Canadian humanitarian organizations have set out to offer aid in Haiti and are asking for financial assistance to continue their efforts. Here are the organizations you should consider donating to.
