Earthquake Destroys Haiti
Screams, tears and lost souls fill the air on the streets of Haiti today due to the aftermath of a 7.0 magnitute earthquake that hit the country this tuesday. Victims are suffering for major injuries including head wounds, crushed limbs, and severve tramas. There is little medical assitance due to enough medical centers being destroyed Many people are still trapped in collasped buildings as peolpe dig with their bare hands to find survivors, mostly finding dead bodies. Haitian President Rene Reval could'nt even give a definite number of the dead victims "I don't know..up to now, I heard 50,000...30,000".
Whoever is a citizen of Haiti is trapped there is no water or electricity,hosiptals are damaged and communication lines are down. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Which means much help is needed for the people to survive from the basic necesities: food, water and shelter.
This earthquake leaves spectators with their heart strings pulled. Instead of watching and saying you'll pray for the victims of the earthquake GET INVOLVED!
