The recent news that devastated the world was the news of Haiti’s earthquake the destroyed half their city. Its devastation impacted the world very strongly for it caused grief all over the nation. This earthquake killed over 110,000 people and their homes were completely vaporized by the strength of the earthquake. The news still says that people are trapped under the debris of the after math. The people of Haiti cry for help for the nation they live in has been annihilated by Mother Nature’s wrath. There are disaster reliefs where people can bring any type of medical product to help the Red Cross that made their way to the people of Haiti and help them out. Schools also do small things to benefit the Haiti relief program which gives the Red Cross more supplies to Haiti. It is sad that to start the new year of 2010 our nation is devastated with the earthquake that destroyed Haiti.
