Haiti Earthquake
On 12 January 2010 an earthquake, measuring 7.0 on the Richter Scale, struck Haiti, approximately 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince. An estimated 3 million people have been affected. Aid agencies are working to provide emergency relief. However, the island's endemic poverty and a lack of infrastructure increase the risk of deaths daily. There are shortages of water, shelter, sanitation and health services. Hospitals in Port-au-Prince are overwhelmed by the disaster.
