A little after 5:00 p.m. ET, on January 12, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving a wake of panic, dread, and destruction. The capital city of Port-au-Prince has all but been destroyed and the American Red Cross has reported that approximately three million people have been affected by the earthquake. Following the catastrophic quake has been a series of devastating aftershocks; at least 28 had struck by Tuesday morning. The United Nations mission has also been destroyed.
The earthquake took out communications and landline telephones and the sound of devastation can be heard throughout the cities. The sound of cries, wails, and moans were heard echoing above the cracked cement and broken buildings. Rescue efforts are underway but have been hindered due to the lack of communications. The earthquake has been deemed to be the worst in over 200 years. Rescue workers are searching for entry passage as many of the roads have been devastated. It is still too early to count all the dead.
Now that the sun has arisen upon Haiti, assessments of the damage are underway. With a population of nine million people, two million live in Port-au-Prince, but the earthquakes catastrophic events were not limited to Port-au-Prince alone. Meanwhile, the United States Coast Guard is assessing the damage from an aerial view to determine the best route for recovery efforts. The United Nations head of missions in Haiti is missing among the rubble and more than 100 United Nation’s workers are missing.
More than 800 workers for Doctors without Borders are also missing. The current estimate says that ‘hundreds of thousands’ are deceased as rescue workers race against time to save those
