The demage caused by the earthquake is more serious. It is said that nearly 100 thousand people would have died in the earthquake. The civilians stayed and slept in hte debris for two nights. More seriously, a plague might spread after the earthquake. Luckily, some countries in the world promised to help Haiti to get through the difficulties.

Pray for Haiti! Hope Haitian people can get over the earthquake very soon.

I feel very sorry to hear this. I've heard that more than 7000 dead bodies have been found. What a tragedy!

Manny, more than 200 thousand people have died in the earthquake according to an offcial report. People there start to fight and steal things. Just now I read some news. A 15 years old girl was shot to death just because she stole three pieces of pictures. How pathetic!!
