Haiti-Total disaster!!
-
From what I have heard the only Haitians being allowed into the US were ones already in the process of immigrating or being adopted. They are bringing these in and fast tracking the process to get them out of a bad situation.
-
there is so many violent acts… and ˝food fighting˝
the police cant establish an order
and various groups wreak havocafter natural
there comes a social tragedy combined with it -
and some commenters apoint that this earthquake just showed how weak UN is… and how unable to make a swift and decisive action…
Haiti are near USA
what would ve been if the earthquake happened in Vanuatu or Fidji…
-
What I want to know is if the Dominican Republic is ok.
-
I heard the Dominican Republic was untouched. Whether that was because the quake didn’t hit with the same severity there or if they were better prepared for it.
-
Almost all the damage was done to Port Au Prince. The epicenter was located 6 miles below the actual surface of the earth under Port Au Prince. An outlying suburb has also been damaged by an after shock.
Since this was the capital of Haiti both the Haitian government, what there was of it, and the UN mission in country have been effectively removed. The UN lost 3 of its top deputies at its headquarters. Much of the senior leadership of the Haitian Police Force was lost when their headquarters and the Ministry of Justice buildings collapsed.

They were just far enough away from the epicenter.

there is an information that haiti lost 60 % of its BDP in 60 seconds
:((((((
-
Well, GDP is gross domestic product, a measurement of the size of a nation’s economy.
So I’m guessing it refers to the total size of Haiti’s economy.
-
Yeah I know what GDP is, but what is BDP? Is it a typo?
-
Probably is. The B is right by the G.
-
Botswana Democratic Party.
They were holding a convention at the time. -
BDP = GDP

You had better be sorry. I couldn’t sleep last night trying to figure out what BDP meant.

Haiti was poorest nation in the western hemisphere to begin with. Not to sound cynical but if anything the earthquake probably grew its economy. =/ if you include all the sympathy aid it received.

earthquake probably grew its economy
Thats a bit harsh, the cost was in blood then?

Brain Damaged has a point, the down economic cycle has had a personal effect on everyone on a global scale.
