2 days ago, on January 12th 2010 at about 5 pm, a disastorous earthquake struck Haiti, Carribean. This earthquake was a really bad earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter Scale. This destructive earthquake killed about 100,000 people and a lot and lot of people were injured and are still missing. Lots of children are still stuck in the collapsed building and can't come out of it. 17 UN people died and 56 people were injured while over 200 UN staff are still missing. Lots of buildings and schools collapsed during this earthquake and all the people were running all over the place to survive from the earthquake. Even the palace in Haiti collapsed and the walls were all cracked. The telephone connections didn't work as well. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world with only $1.5 each day to spend. They are a poor country... and they even get this destructive earthquake!!! How unlucky are they? Again, lots of people are injured and are bleeding so they need a doctor but they can't find a good doctor with only that amount of money each day. Lots of Haiti police are still trying to find missing people and people that are stuck on the buildings. 19 countries including U.S.A, China, Brazil, UK and Ireland are helping Haiti by sending aids, and more. If you were at Haiti right now, you will see dead bodies and injured people bleeding on the street.

Yes, Si Won, I appreciate the two points you brought up about being such a poor country to begin with, then having this disaster landing on top of them. More than a population can stand, eh?
