Earthquake, Haiti Aid | featured news

A broad array of international donors pledged nearly $10 billion in long-term assistance to Haiti's earthquake recovery efforts during a daylong conference at United Nations headquarters.

Two Americans were killed when their helicopter, which was participating in aid and recovery operations in earthquake-hit Haiti, crashed in the Dominican Republic, aviation authorities said on Friday.

As aid flowed into Port-au-Prince on Thursday, relief groups began shifting their focus to long-term challenges.

Some incidents of violence in Haiti have hindered rescue workers trying to help earthquake victims, a top official leading the U.S. government's relief efforts said Sunday.

Millions of dollars in relief aid has been collected via unlikely sources.
