FedEx provides Haiti aid
FedEx is working with their designated charitable relief organisations to help ensure aid is on the way to Haiti, after an earthquake hit on 12 January. They plan to provide transportation services for the American Red Cross, Heart to Heart International, Direct Relief International and Water Missions as soon as conditions allow.
A company statement said:
FedEx team members are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at FedEx are with the victims, survivors and loved ones affected by this disaster. Because of severe damage caused by the earthquake, our operations have been suspended into and out of the island until further notice. All customer shipments are being held in Miami until we can resume operations.
The most efficient way to support this effort is to donate monetary support to a legitimate charitable organization. Logistics within Haiti prevents FedEx from sending products and aid collected by individuals or local organisations.
