Haiti still recovering 10 years after devastating earthquake

When Haitians started their day on 12 January ten years ago, they could not have imagined the devastation that was about to befall their country. Later that day, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck, claiming the lives of more than 220,000 people. The quake - one of the deadliest natural disasters on record - destroyed much of the country's fragile infrastructure and left many Haitians in dire need of assistance.

UNICEF mobilized quickly, providing urgent support to children, women and families, many of whom were without shelter, water, food and other basic necessities. The priority was to save lives.

But a decade later, Haiti continues to face multiple crises. Worsening food insecurity and malnutrition, water-borne disease epidemics and high vulnerability to natural disasters have placed added pressure on women and children. UNICEF is committed to the children of Haiti, working with the government and other partners to reach vulnerable children - giving them the support they need to recover and helping them along the path to a better future.

Wednesday, January 12th 2022, 6:03 am - Wednesday marks the 12-year anniversary of the devastating earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people and displaced millions of Haitians.

Wednesday marks the 12-year anniversary of the destructive Haiti earthquake, which killed more than 200,000 people on Jan. 12, 2010. The magnitude 7.0 quake is among the deadliest natural disasters on record, demolishing most of the country's poorly built infrastructure and displacing millions of Haitians.

The tremor, which struck the island of Hispaniola, near Léogâne -- nearly 26 kilometres west of Port-au-Prince -- also injured 300,000 people and damaged or destroyed 4,000 schools. Also among the victims of the quake were 58 Canadians.

Since the 2010 quake, billions of dollars in total aid has been contributed by international agencies and private donors.

With 12 years having passed since the disaster, Haiti continues with recovery efforts and is faced with many challenges. Issues such as declining food insecurity and malnutrition, water-borne disease epidemics and high vulnerability to natural disasters have increased pressure on women and children.

The country has also had to deal with the aftermaths of Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Matthew, drought and political turmoil, among others. Charitable groups such as UNICEF are working with the government and other partners to help affected families.
