Haiti Death Toll Still Rising
From my previous posts:
Haiti Quake, Death Toll Might Reach 100,000
Last Wednesday, Haiti’s Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said that the death toll might reach 100,000. The capital of Port-au-Prince was mostly destroyed by the earthquake leaving hospitals and schools collapsed, resulting to trapped victims and many dead people crushed in buildings. The 7.0 earthquake intensity made it more difficult for medical people to give aid to those affected because the hospitals are also destroyed by the quake’s rage.
But according to the Haitian Government, the death toll might rise from 50,000 as of today to 200,000 on the following days. The search, rescue and retrieval operations are still retrieving bodies from the rubble of the collapsed buildings. The government has started burying dead bodies in mass graves, due to emergency, because they have to provide aid to those who have survived.
