Earthquake hits Haiti


The biggest quake to hit the country in 200 years leaves a grim scene of bodies and crushed buildings - following a major earthquake on January 13, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. A 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti today, followed by at least a dozen aftershocks, causing widespread devastation in the capital of Port-au-Prince. According to the The Red Cross, upto three million people have been affected and thousands are feared dead. (Population of the country is a little over 9 million)


Some pictures from the devastation that has left hundreds of thousands homeless...






































































































Even the presidential palace was also brought down.

Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti. May God give you the strength to overcome this.
Such a sad thing to happen. RIP to all the dead!

  4. A very traumatic experience, may God give the affected people the fortitude to bear the loss of their loved ones. Really, Nigeria is so blessed, we should not take the grace of the Lord for granted.

  8. God does not make a statement by killing people. Christians worldwide are supposed to pray for the saints and for the unbelievers. It's good to appreciate the grace of God but it's better to help others benefit from this grace. This is a wake-up call for everyone, there is witchcraft everyone in Africa and as a matter of fact the witchcraft came from Africa and Haitians are just are brothers.
