In the poorest country in the western hemisphere, in Haiti, where corruption, nepotism, violence, crime, prostitution and indescribable poverty are the only things that you can rely on, it is a disaster indescribable proportions come - a devastating earthquake has large parts of the capital, but also large areas in the interior of the country were devastated by the quake with a magnitude of 7.0.
Hardly any country is so eaten away by corruption and violence, such as Haiti and now the people are literally left with nothing. Entire slum in the capital Port-au-Prince, such as bird nests glued to the slopes of the mountains surrounding the capital are affected by the earthquake apparently just slipped into the valley - along with the fact house people. The estimates of casualties are very inaccurate, because there is no disaster in that country. There are also a significant infrastructure, it hardly, and what still available and not yet decayed, was destroyed by the earthquake. There is no clean drinking water, no food, electricity and telephone networks are destroyed, a state power no longer exists as well. In addition to the presidential palace, many hospitals have simply fallen in on itself. The UN building will also fallen victim to the quake, burying many people beneath them. It is made of up to 100,000 dead, a more accurate picture but will be delivered in the next few days of the incoming aid organizations.
Quick help is need, otherwise many more people die from hunger, disease and infection, which they incurred by their most serious injury have, or even draw! I beg you, help people and donate as much as you can. Every little donation helps!
