I just read that there was new strong earthquake in Haiti, but it didn't cause much damage, probably because almost everything is already destroyed. There are no reports of new casulties so far and I am hoping everybody are alright there. Given the current situation it is hard to say "alright" and still

In these times the people show how helpful and charitable they are. I am thankful that there are a lot of people out there who are very much willing to lend a helping hand. We just couldn't stand seeing these people suffer. For those who have no money or anything to donate, prayers is the best option. I hope more help comes to them. Let's just pray for everything to be okay soon.

Yes, you are right. It is good that everybody helps with what they can. Here, in Bulgaria there are phone lines opened 24/7 and anyone with medical education can call and they will arrange for him/her a free flight to Haiti, to help there, because they need medical help, not only supplies

Yea i heard about it too, it happened a couple of days ago and the people werent expecting it. The residence of Haiti were indeed unpreapered for this tragic even. Haiti is well known for hurricane activity not for earthquakes. The last earthquake happened 200 years ago, which is quite a gap. A 7.0 magnitude is quite high too. I also hope that everyone is ok. At least they are sending help straight away, and a lot of famous people; jolie and brad, madonna, donated.

I read about this as well. The aftershock wasn't as strong as the first earthquake, but it was still a fairly strong earthquake. I don't think it would really be possible for them to be able to accurately report if there were additional casualties because they still don't officially know the casualty rate from the original earthquake. I just feel so bad for the people in Haiti and wish that there was more that I could do for them.
