Significantly fewer people died or were left homeless by last year's earthquake in Haiti than claimed by the country's leaders, a draft report commissioned by the US government has said.
The unpublished report puts the death toll between 46,000 and 85,000. Haiti's government says about 316,000 died.
It also suggests many of those still living in tent cities did not lose their homes in the disaster.
Haitian authorities have stood by their figures released last year.
The draft report, which has yet to be released publicly, is based on a survey commissioned by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and draws its numbers from door-to-door surveys carried out over 29 days in January 2011.
No, Haiti was not prepared for the earthquake that struck in 2010. The country lacked proper infrastructure, emergency response systems, and building codes, which contributed to the widespread destruction and high death toll.
The exact number of people who survived the Haiti earthquake on January 12, 2010, is not known as there were varying estimates. However, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people survived the earthquake, as the death toll was around 230,000.
Currently 85,000. Over 250,000 are expected dead in Haiti and 2,500 in other countries like Dominican Republic.
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.
