Yes. Some people described as the worst natural disaster in history! Many lives were lost in Haiti and it will take a while until everything is normal once more.
The 2010 Haiti earthquake caused an estimated $7.8 billion in damages, which accounted for about 120% of Haiti's GDP. The extensive destruction of infrastructure, homes, and businesses resulted in long-term economic and social challenges for the country. Recovery efforts have been ongoing, but the earthquake's impact continues to be felt by the people of Haiti.
The Haiti earthquake occurred in Haiti, a country in the Caribbean region on the island of Hispaniola. It struck near the capital city, Port-au-Prince, causing widespread devastation and loss of life in 2010.
The government typically responds to an earthquake within the first few hours to assess the situation and provide immediate assistance. Depending on the severity of the earthquake, a more comprehensive response plan may take several days to mobilize.
As of now, the current death toll from today's earthquake in Haiti is still being assessed by authorities. The situation is evolving rapidly, and it may take some time to determine the exact number of casualties.
It will take a long time because Haiti is very poor. No one will for get about Haiti
the long term effects are seismic waves which are little earthquakes after thr REAL earthquake; they will go on for who knows how long....the short terms the length of the REAL earthquake the truth is no one knows how long it will take to recover from Haiti it might take years it might take more or less.......just help in whatever way you can!!!

In recent history, a Chinese earthquake killed about 255,000 in 1976 - at the moment the thinking is that Haiti killed fewer - and further back in history another in China killed over 800,000 in the 16th century.
