Haiti Earthquake Explained:
On January 12, 2010 Haiti was struck by a magnitude 7 earthquake, causing widespread devastation. The earthquake’s epicenter
was about 10 miles from Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital city. Many countries, including Canada, immediately
organized disaster response teams to help those injured, missing, or dead as a result of the quake. The quake
destroyed houses, schools, hospitals, and even the National Palace in Port-au-Prince. Almost a year later, the city is still without
enough food, medical supplies, clean water, and shelters to adequately care for its citizens.
