Haiti was hit by an earthquake 7.1 on the righter scale. They were in really bad conditions to face this catastrophe and it's not all, the island was divided into two parts: the rich families and the poor families.
The poor families were devastated, they lost everything and most of the children became orphans, because the parents and family died under the rubble.
There were approximately one hundred and fifty thousand dead and many wounded. Many people from all over the world came to help them, and some people were lucky to be found alive by the rescues. There was a case of a young woman who was found alive after a week under the rubble, and another case of a boy who was saved by the rescues after been trapped under a building.
The other part of the island had no effects whatsoever because obviously the rich people had built their houses much more strongly. I think maybe, in a develop country, the catastrophe would have been much less because many countries would have gone to help with the best machines and more manpower.
Why is that whenever there is a catastrophe is always the poor who got hurt most?
