Haiti in Ruins After Huge
Earthquake
Television pictures are slowly beginning to show how great the damage
is in Haiti following the huge earthquake
on Tuesday. A magnitude 7.3 quake, just 16km from the capital,
hit the Caribbean
nation as people were going home after work. Much of the
country has been
devastated. Many major buildings in the capital Port-au-Prince have
collapsed, including the Presidential Palace and the UN
headquarters. Haiti's President Rene Preval described the scene
in the capital as
"unimaginable". The Red Cross says up to 3 million people have been
affected. Mr. Preval fears "well over 100,000 people" may have died.
Haiti's ambassador to the USA, Raymond Joseph, said there was "no
way of estimating" how many casualties there were. Countries around
the world are acting quickly to send whatever help they can
to Haiti. Haiti is one of the poorest countries
in the world. More than
half of its people live
below the poverty line
on less than two dollars a day. It is one of the poorest- equipped countries on Earth
to deal with such a
catastrophe. The nation was still trying to recover from being hit by four deadly hurricanes in 30
days in 2008. Its
economy is in ruins and
it has a long history of corruption and
coups.
