Videos: 5 former U.S. presidents come together for #HurricaneHarvey relief

Hurricane Harvey has caused absolute devastation across Texas.

As you will have no doubt seen in the shocking videos and photos taken of the catastrophic events of these last few weeks, many have lost their lives, been injured, or had their lives otherwise upended by the tropical storm.

27 trillion gallons of water have fallen, leaving over a million people displaced from their homes and causing $180 billion in damages. Worst of all, at least 70 deaths have been attributed to the storm, with countless more injured and hospitalised. The people of Texas are in need of help, and it's up to those of us who can to send donations to the relevant charities.

One such fund is the One America Appeal, which is spearheaded by all five living former Presidents of the United States. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, George W Bush, Barack Obama and George HW Bush have come together to support those affected by Hurricane Harvey. The former presidents have appeared in a new video asking for donations to the One America Appeal, a joint effort seeking donations for those in need across the Gulf Coast.
