The Crisis in Haiti

The island nation of Haiti is in crisis, after a massive earthquake — 7.3 on the Richter scale — hit the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti was already in dire straits.  The country had already suffered four successive hurricanes in 2008 and was also trying to rebuild in the face of the ongoing food crisis.
