#4 A World In Pictures

This is a picture of the devastating earthquake that took place in Haiti in 2010. This earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0, reaching catastrophic measures, and an estimated 3 million people were affected by the event. Many countries sent people to help immediately, whether they were providing medical assistance or going to help clean up, but many also sent funds to help pay for the damage Haiti had experienced. When these kind of things happen, the effects are very negative, but it is also neat to be able to watch different parts of the world work together for a certain cause and provide the help each other needs. By no means would we want these disasters to happen, but the aftermath can bring some positives along with many negatives. The people in the photograph are probably feeling lost and uneasy about the future or sad about deaths of their loved ones, but with the aid of other nations, the effects may not be as bad as they thought.
