Earthquake has killed in Haiti

On tuesday (the 12th) morning a very bad Earth Quake hit Port au Prince (in Haiti).
Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told CNN Wednesday the death toll from the earthquake that rocked his country could be "well over 100,000."

The 7.0-magnitude (accourding to the Rechter Scale) quake struck Tuesday afternoon, and has left Port-au-Prince, the capital city, in dust.


The Haitian President René Préval told the Miami Herald, today (13th), he has been stepping over more than thousand dead bodies prettly much everywhere.


"We have to do an evaluation," Préval said, describing the scene as "unimaginable."

"All of the hospitals are full with people. It is a catastrophe,'' he said.

"Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed,'' he told the paper. "There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them.''

Shattered communication systems in the Caribbean country made it impossible to immediately determine the number of dead bodies from the Tuesday afternoon quake, but an International Red Cross official estimated that three million people in the impoverished country of nine million may have been affected and could need emergency aid.
