The worst earthquake to hit Haiti in 200 years — an enormous earthquake of 7.0 magnitude — has struck the country. An estimated 1.8 million residents were violently shaken by an earthquake on 12 January. The earthquake hit about 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, the densely-populated Haitian capital, causing massive damage to property and loss of life.
SAVE THE CHILDREN have launched a £3 million appeal to help fund a major emergency response. “Children and their families have been forced from their homes into an extremely stressful and dangerous environment,” said Ian Rodgers, Senior Emergency Advisor for the Save the Children. “The priority now is to provide food, clean water, shelter and medical assistance to children and their families.”
