Haiti Relief Effort
Shortly before 5:00pm on Tuesday, January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the nation of Haiti near its capital city, Port-au-Prince. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that this is the strongest earthquake to hit Haiti since 1770, with its effects being felt more than 200 miles away. Approximately 3 million Haitians (nearly one-third of Haiti’s population) have been immediately affected, and over 100,000 people are currently feared dead or missing. The United Nations is releasing $10 million in aid while many countries, including Iceland, Venezuela, China, UK, Israel, Russia and France are also sending help. (Sources: CNN.com, FOXNews.com)
