short: no food, no clean water, communications were down, lack of medical aid, ports and roads closed, spread of disease, deaths and injuries are short term, fires, destroyed buildings, gas supply effected.
long: debt to other countries - from borrowing money to rebuild, everythings needs to be rebuilt so prehaps stronger more 'earthquake proof' houses etc. a better emeregency plan for families ie. plans for the future in case of other disaters, spread of disease - may cause medical problems to run thourgh generations (like what happened when there was a nuclear bomb dropped in Japan), jobs may be created as there will be a great need in the construction industry for rebuilings to take place.

What time was the earthquake in haiti?
It depends on your connotation of "earthquake." If by earthquake you mean just the period when the earth's motion can be traced to a specific event, the Hatian earthquake lasted about 45 seconds. If however, you mean the period between when the earth's motion caused damage and when that damage is no longer felt in the live of the all people affected by it, the earthquake is still ongoing. Many Hatian people live in tents away from cities and are out of work. Many have had their homes completely desroyed while others have homes still standing with damage and the owners fear if they return another earthquake will cause a collapse.
