Imagine that you are cooking the dinner at 4:53 and an earthquake hits. You know the procedure, so you do it quickly. Once it stops you go outside to see what the damage is, damage more than you have ever seen in your life...people bleeding, screaming, calling the names of their loved ones, you look all around you and know that you might die. How would you feel?
" A massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. "
Now imagine you are in another country and you are sitting on the sofa or getting ready for school and you see this on the news "Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere has been hit by an earthquake of devastating levels. More than 30 aftershocks have been recorded and an estimated 3 million women, men and children are in need of emergency aid."
Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday. Aid is coming, people are saying that it isn't but it is, it's just that there is nowhere for the helicopters to land and the devastation is so severe in this poorest of countries.
I hope everyone in the Haiti disaster can re-build their lives and for everyone who is helping them thank you.
