Earthquake in Heidi

Who ever would have thought that a earthquake could have hit one of the poorest countries in the world(Haiti) and kill 45,000 to 50,000 people? People that survived the massive 7 earthquake were walking around Haiti with tissues over their noses because of the bodies rotting. It was a horrible quake that had multiple aftershocks. The quake sent the counties capital down to rubble, and people collapsing to the ground. Multiple other countries (China, US, Spain, and France) sent over people to search and gallons of water in the 81 degree heat. They were digging through the rubble with there bare hands finding people- dead and alive. If people were found alive they would be taken care of in the street, or taken to a hospital. Also, "water is the currency"- it was not money that the residents of Haiti cared about, it was not water. Many of the people had facial injuries and skull fractures. Now, the only question that I have is, where will the residents of Haiti move on from this devastating natural disaster?
