Devastating Earthquake Hits Haiti

My heart goes out to the people affected by this catastrophic event. I'll be saying a prayer for you tonight. This is one the most devestating things to happen to Haiti in the past 57 years.

“Parliament has collapsed,” Mr. Préval was quoted as saying. “The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed. There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them.”

“All of the hospitals are packed with people,” he added. “It is a catastrophe.”

The earthquake left the country in a shambles, tangling efforts to provide relief to an estimated 3 million people who the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said had been affected by the quake."
