A severe earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale devastated Haiti
yesterday afternoon. This is the most severe earthquake to hit that
impoverished country in 200 years. Schools, hospitals
and thousands of homes have been destroyed and over three million
people have been left without adequate food, shelter, healthcare
and basic infrastructure.
