On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, followed by several powerful aftershocks, struck off the western coast of Haiti, causing buildings to collapse in Port au Prince and chaos as people fled the damage. It is estimated that 3 million people have been affected and 200,000 left homeless.

This earthquake has caused the poorest country in the western hemisphere to be left with extreme sadness. A country with nothing has much, much less now. Canadian government has told canadians that they will match dollar for dollar its donations.
