Parcel delivery giant UPS is shipping aid to Haiti following the devastating earthquake.

In addition to donating $500,000 in cash, the courier company’s charitable arm The UPS Foundation, has donated $500,000 of free shipments.

The donation will be divided between The American Red Cross, CARE, UNICEF and other relief organisations.

UPS has previously helped with disaster relief in places like the Phillipines, China, Samoa and the United States.
