Call to action: U2-fans support Haiti

On January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the island of Haiti, devasting the capital and largest city, Port-au-Prince. The International Red Cross estimated that about three million people were affected by the quake. At least tens of thousands of people were killed, many are still missing.
