22 Jan 10 Haiti Update – January 22, 2010
Five organisations – the United Nations Foundation, Save The Children, Oxfam, Mary’s Meals and the British Red Cross – are now using ipadio to report on Haiti.
The UN Foundation have hosted a briefing by UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes on the situation there:
