Much like with the stunning photos of the destruction of Haiti's Presidential Palace, these before and after photos of the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, also known as Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, show just how severe the destruction was. The Roman Catholic Cathedral, almost a hundred years old, is now barely standing. See below for before and after pictures.

Arianna Huffington: HuffPost Turns Over the Top of Every Section to All the Ways We Can Help in Haiti

With the crisis in Haiti escalating, we decided earlier today to turn over the top of our home page and each of our 17 sections to the relief efforts, and the many different ways we can all help. This moment of human tragedy and intense suffering is also a great opportunity to tap into our better instincts of empathy and compassion -- and take action. Click here to see a slideshow of the different tops we featured for most of the day (and are still featuring on a number of sections), and read about what aspect of the relief effort each of the sections have been covering.

Jamie Lee Curtis: Prepare to Be Desperate

A disaster could strike at any time. In this great time of global commitment, stop for a second and ask yourself: Have I done more than cross my fingers?

Caroline Gluck: Dispatch from the Ground in Haiti

The needs in Haiti now are enormous, as most basic services just aren't functioning. At the best of times, daily life in Haiti for the 80% or so of the population, who have to live on less than two dollars a day, is a daily struggle.

Evelyn Leopold: Haiti Gets Worse Before It Gets Better

Human beings can survive without water for 72 hours -- a deadline that passed in Haiti on Friday. Decisions must now be made about whether to use heavy equipment to clear debris rather than slowly search for survivors.

John Robinson: Connecting with Christa: My Effort to Reach out to a Victim and a Hero

When Christa Brelsford's story was covered on CNN, I turned to Twitter and Facebook to see if I could connect with Christa. As an amputee, I wanted to reach out to her.

Rep. Betsy Markey: Haiti Credit Card and Bank Donations: Companies Must Use Their Consciences

We await word from Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America. My hope is that they will make sure that every dollar donated to earthquake relief gets directly to the people of Haiti.

Harry Shearer: How To Help in Haiti: the Grass-Roots Version

This note is relayed by my friend Lolis Elie, reporter for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, who describes Beverly Bell's work in Haiti as "selfless and inspiring."

Yoani Sanchez: From Cuba to Haiti

This is not the time to play politics with the pain, nor to step in front of the microphones promising help, but rather to come to their aid unconditionally, without desire for recognition or gratitude.
