It's been almost two weeks since the earthquake hit Haiti, and yet local people are still finding survivors under rubbles.
Here are the hard numbers from CNN:
CNN has compiled the latest, most reliable figures available as the devastation continues to unfold:
THE TOLL
150,000: Latest estimate of the death toll, from the Haitian Health Ministry. The European Union and the Pan American Health Organization, which are coordinating the health-sector response, have estimated the quake killed 200,000 people.
194,000: Number of injured
134: Estimated number of people rescued by international search teams since the quake
THE EFFECT
9 million: Population of Haiti
3 million: Estimated number of people affected by the quake
1 million: Estimated number of displaced people
800,000 to 1 million: People who need temporary shelter
235,000: People who have left Port-au-Prince using free transportation provided by the government. The number who left by private means is undetermined.
At least 50: Aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 or higher that have hit Haiti since the January 12 quake
Where to Donate: http://yele.org/ an organization started by Wycleaf Jean to help Haiti. After thinking through which organization I should donate to I went with Yele.org since Red Cross gets most of the attention smaller charities need our support as well.
