Haiti Earthquake
No one has begun to estimate the number of injuries from the magnitude 7 earthquake, which destroyed much of the capital Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12. Haitian officials said the death toll was likely to be between 100,000 and 200,000. As many as 1 million people are homeless in Port-au-Prince alone, and many are in desperate need of aid, following the January 12 earthquake that killed an estimated 200,000 Haitians and destroyed much of the capital. Non-governmental relief agencies, as well as U.S. military personnel and United Nations peacekeepers, are struggling to deliver desperately needed food, water and medical supplies. U.N. peacekeepers at one distribution site fired warning shots in an attempt to pacify starving Haitians who threatened to overrun the site. We have been reading and seeing so many news stories, pictures from the earthquake. Even though, photojournalists are in hard conditions, they have been working very well. As a photojournalist who has experienced this situation.
