9 Reading: Haiti earthquake On January 12, 2010, an earthquake struck 25 kilometres outside of Port-au-prince, the capital of Haiti. This natural disaster affected millions of people, and it damaged hundreds of thousands of buildings. After the catastrophic earthquake, there were another 50 smaller earthquakes which made the rescue tasks even harder. Before the earthquake, Haiti was already the poorest nation in the American continent, and one of the poorest in the world.. This disaster caused a lot of damage to the infrastructure of the country. All of the hospitals in Port-au-prince were destroyed or damaged,and the same happened to schools and government buildings in the capital. To make matters worse, the communication systems were also damaged, and transportation became very difficult. In response to this natural disaster, many national governments and non-governmental organisations set up different programmes of humanitarian aid to help the people of Haiti. The United Kingdom, Brazil and the United States, among other countries, sent groups of doctors and rescue teams. Other governments and organisations raised funds for the cause, and so did many private companies. Even celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and John Travolta gave money to help the Haitians. Immediately after the earthquake, rescue teams started looking for survivors. This process lasted for many days: on February 8th a rescue team found the last survivor of
the catastrophe.
