Haiti Earthquake

January 14, 2010 | Climate

Republic of Haiti is a Creole- and French-speaking Caribbean country, highest point of the country is Pic la Selle, at 2,680 metres (8,793 ft). The total area of Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) and its capital is Port-au-Prince.

As you know Tuesday’s the 7.0-magnitude quake left a landscape of collapsed buildings — hospitals, schools, churches, ramshackle homes, even the gleaming national palace — the rubble sending up a white cloud that shrouded the entire capital.
