Who was involved in the haiti earthquake?

The Haiti earthquake in 2010 involved no specific individuals as it was a natural disaster that affected the entire country. However, it had a significant impact on the people of Haiti, causing widespread destruction, loss of life, and displacement. International aid organizations, governments, and humanitarian agencies were involved in providing assistance and relief efforts.


Where did the Haitians go after the earthquake?

They didn't go anywhere. As in any disaster, people started congregating in any remaining open areas. After earthquakes especially, people (in any country) are afraid to re-enter or be near buildings. So they sleep outside, in any open area they can find. In Haiti, the front lawn in front of the leader's house was first filled as was a sport's area. People who actually own these open lands now (late summer 2010) are wanting the people to clear out, but the people have no where to go. The Haitians are being helped by many people right now and they need continued help; most Haitians are still living outside in makeshift tents. Although the USA promised billions in aid money, the bills have never been passed by Congress. Other problems within the Haitian government, reportedly, have stalled aid from being given to the earthquake victims. Just because Haiti is rarely in the news now, at the end of summer 2010, people there are still suffering.
