2010 nang lumindol na may magnitude 7.0 sa Haiti. Mas malakas ang sa Pilipinas na 7.2 noong October 15. Ang pinsala ay katulad ng pinsala ni Yolanda na durog ang mga gusali at ilang libong namatay. Kung natatandaan ninyo, isa sa pinuntahan ni Ms. World Megan Young ang Haiti na noong nagsasagawa siya ng tulong, gumuho ang gusaling kanilang kinaroroonan. Sinabi ng isang international journalist nang nakausap ko na siya raw ay natatakot na matulad ang Pilipinas sa Haiti na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nakababangon. Napakarami ring bansa ang tumulong upang itoy bumangon ngunit napakabagal raw ng gobyerno, ang tulong mula sa ibang bansa ay hindi ginamit lahat at ang paglilinis sa lugar ay hindi pa rin tapos hanggang sa ngayon. 2013 na.. Marami mga mamamayan ang nagkakasakit at namatay dahil cholera dahil kulang sa tubig at maduming paligid.. Nakatatakot basahin.. Sana huwag ito mangyari sa Pilipinas.. Sana mabasa ito ng mga nasa katungkulan upang maiwasan ang hindi dapat mangyari.. Basahin ninyo ang link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake _______ 2013 report ONLY According to the International Monetary Fund, more than half of the 10,000,000 cubic metres (13,000,000 cu yd) of debris have been removed, and 20 percent of it has been recycled. The cholera outbreak which began in October 2010 has continued. According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it is considered the worst epidemic of cholera since the 1994 outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. By August 2013, it had killed over 8,231 Haitians and hospitalized hundreds of thousands more. More than 6% of Haitians have had the disease. Care of cholera patients remains inadequate with much now done in tent facilities with rows of cots for patient treatment. The United Nations peace keeping force, widely believed responsible for the cholera outbreak, continues to refuse to accept responsibility, however, they have launched a $2.2 billion initiative to combat cholera and the construction of a $17 million teaching hospital in Mirebalais which will employ 800 Haitians and treat 185,000 people. By the beginning of the year only a small part--$215 million--of the total funds collected for aid had been spent on permanent housing, with most of it--$1.2 billion--going for short-term solutions including tent camps, temporary shelters, and cash grants that paid a year’s rent.[262] A 2013 survey disclosed that of the 1.5 million Haitians living in camps following the quake, about 279,000 remained in a total of 352 camps. Fifteen percent of the camps had no basic protection services,[clarification needed] and 48% no health services. While 20% lacked functioning toilets, this is higher than the population outside tent cities, where 50% lack toilets. Many camps remained at a risk for flooding and more than a third of the camps (108) were at risk for evictions. In a 2013 statement, the American Red Cross reported that almost all of the money collected for quake relief has been spent or is scheduled for making progress permanent by ensuring people can leave camps and return to stable communities, which includes building new homes, repairing homes, completing a new hospital and clinic, and signing an agreement for a second hospital.
