Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Donate $1 Million to for Haitian Aid

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders, which is providing aid in wake of the devastating Haitian earthquake. People reports:
"It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades," says Jolie.

Adds Pitt: "We understand the first response is critical to serve the immediate needs of countless people who are now displaced from their homes, are suffering trauma, and most require urgent care."

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation is donating the funds to Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres, whose three hospitals in Port-au-Prince were severely damaged, forcing the staff to work out of open-air hospitals.
If you would like to help the rescue effort in Haiti, make sure you donate to a reputable organization. There are many scam organizations raising funds right now, according to the FBI. CNN has put together a list of reputable charitable organizations which are specifically focusing on Haitian relief right now.
