Haiti suffers another devastation

Haiti suffers another devastation
On Saturday, August 14, 2021, a magnitude 7.2
earthquake struck Haiti’s southern peninsula, causing widespread destruction in
the Caribbean country. Two cities, Jeremie and Les Cayes, reported that at
least 2,200 people were confirmed dead, more than 12,200 were injured, and
hundreds more were missing. Some 50,000 homes were destroyed, and another
78,000 were damaged. Many places of worship, schools, health centers, and orphanages
were also destroyed leaving many homeless and without important resources. 
It is believed that the earthquake occurred along the
same fault line as did the earthquake back in 2010. The epicenter of the quake
was 78 miles west of Port-au-Prince and was felt as far away as Jamaica. The
United States Geological Survey said that the quake struck five miles from the town
of Petit Trou de Nippes in the western part of Haiti, which is approximately 80
miles west of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The quake reportedly had a depth
of seven miles. 
This earthquake could not have hit at a worst time for
Haiti because the country never fully recovered from the 2010 earthquake that leveled
much of Port-au-Prince and killed some 250,000 people. The area where the earthquake
struck on August 14, is also the same part of Haiti that was affected by Hurricane
Matthew in 2016, and they were also still in recovery mode.
As if this was not enough for the Haitian community to
have to face, Tropical Storm Grace arrived in Haiti on the following Tuesday,
August 17, just days after the earthquake. This brought even more challenges
for the Haitian people. Those who survived the earthquake, but were left homeless,
were exposed to heavy rains, floods, and landslides. 
The earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace were, simply
put, one more disaster in a country that has suffered from decades of political,
economic, and social setbacks. Millions of people have been affected from the
2010 earthquake to now and with so many displaced, the country is in what we
call, “its greatest humanitarian need.”
Giving Hearts with Love Foundation has been committed
to helping the Haitian community for several years and will continue to do so.
