As news of more aftershocks hitting the already devastated Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince keep coming in, YouTube and a laundry list of other web sites have announced that tonight’s “Hope for Haiti Now” benefit concert will be broadcast live on the Internet.
According to an AFP report, the Google-owned company will be joined by Hulu, MySpace, Fancast, AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, Bing.com, BET.com, MTV.com, CNN.com, VH1.com and Rhapsody.
Tonight’s benefit concert will help raise money for a number of organizations, including Oxfam America, the Red Cross, UNICEF, the UN World Food Program, Partners in Health, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, and Yele Haiti, a charity foundation set up by the Haitian-born hip-hop star Wyclef Jean. Last week, we outlined a number of other legitimate avenues for helping with the situation in Haiti.
YouTube offered this video on its blog, previewing the benefit:
