Haiti Earthquake
The 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, is considered the deadliest natural disaster of the 21st century to affect a single country. Estimates of the death toll range from 100,000 to 316,000, with hundreds of thousands more injured. In the earthquake-ravaged capital, the field hospital established at Port-au-Prince’s stadium mirrors the streets outside—constantly shifting between despair and hope amid looting, violence, and extraordinary stories of survival and miracles.
