Haiti After the Earthquake

The 2010 earthquake in Haiti was a catastrophic magnitude on 7.0. The earthquake caused a lot of damage too port-au-Prince and other settlements in the region and destroyed or cause a lot or damage too landmarks and building. Many countries responded to by giving immediate humanitarian aid, pledging funds, rescue and medical teams, engineers and support. Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which interfered with rescue and sending aid to the damage property. Port-au-Prince's morgues were quickly over flowing with many tens of thousands of dead bodies having to be buried in grave yards. Delays in aid distribution led to angry appeals from aid workers and survivors, and some violence being observed.
