Haitian native Wyclef Jean is speaking out on the recent disaster in Haiti. Jean released an official statement last night urging everyone to reach out a helping hand to his homeland.

“I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now. President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”

The State Department has set up a toll-free number for Americans to call for information about family members in Haiti: 1-888-407-4747.

My prayers go out to all affected.
