=﻿Haiti Earthquake= In the afternoon on January 12th,2010, a massive earthquake hit Haiti. It is said that it is the worse earthquake for 200 years-7.0 in magnitude. About three-million people were affected by this earthquake. An estimated 230,000 people had died, 300,000 had been injured and 1,000,000 made homeless. They also estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were majorly damaged. This earthquake caused major damage in Port-au-Prince (Haiti's capital). Many landmark buildings were damaged or destroyed like the Presidential Palace, the National Building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail. Among those killed were their Archbishop of Port-au-Prince and opposition leader, Micha Gaillard.

Haiti wasn't a wealthy nation to begin with so a lot of oraganizations from all over the world set up fundraisers and other different events to raise money to help the people in Haiti rebuild their village, houses, etc. so they can start living a right life again. This didn't just affect the lives of the people in Haiti (even though most of it did), it also affected people world-wide. People also took a trip to Haiti to help them get their village back up and also helped people get unstuck out of the rubble.
