i think that the fact that Haiti is so poor is a factor because if the UK was in an earthquake zone , we would buy lots of food and equipment to prepare, since Haiti is so poor they can't do that.

Why does Haiti have so many earthquakes?

Haiti is situated on a fault line known as the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone, making it prone to earthquakes. The movement of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates along this fault line causes significant seismic activity in the region. Additionally, Haiti's lack of robust building codes and poor infrastructure exacerbate the impact of these earthquakes on the population.

Who are the enemies of Haiti?

Part of the reason that Haiti is so poor because of all the wars they have gone into with there enemies. Haiti has fought with Soviet Russia and East Germany. Haiti lost both of these wars, resulting in the loss of money. Another one of Haiti's enemies is the Dominican Republic. Although Haiti is located next to the Dominican Republic, they are enemies because the Haitians are going into the DR illegally, worsening the economy, etc. An example would be because the Haitian refugees are putting Dominican people out of business, due to the fact that they will work cheaper than most Dominicans would, meaning that they are taking their jobs. Another enemy of Haiti is the Kongo. Haiti and the Kongo have had harsh trade disputes lately which is causing them to become enemies.


Is Haiti lucky?

Absolutely NOT!!!! Haiti was a very poor country BEFORE the earthquake, and because of that the buildings were not earthquake proof, so thousands of people have died and the people don't have anything to eat/drink (not to mention they have no homes).
