Commemoration ceremony 10 years after Haiti earthquake killing 300,000 people 9:11 on January 13
Ten years after the massive earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people in Haiti, a Caribbean island nation, memorial ceremonies were held in the affected areas and prayers were offered to the victims.
In 2010, a major earthquake struck near the capital of Port-au-Prince in 2010, killing more than 300,000 people and losing 1.5 million homes.
Just 10 years after the earthquake, a memorial ceremony was held at Port-au-Prince, where President Moise turned flowers to a memorial to the earthquake.
In addition, Christians in various parts of the world participated in bereaved families and locals who lost their families due to the earthquake, held memorial masses, and prayed to the victims.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Americas, with one in two people living on less than $ 3 a day, and has been supported by the international community, including Japan, in its recovery. .
However, some areas have been hit by natural disasters such as hurricanes even after the great earthquake, and there are still areas where reconstruction is not proceeding as expected.
In addition, citizens who have been dissatisfied with their livelihoods have repeatedly held demonstrations calling for the government to resign.
A decade after the earthquake, international assistance has tapered off, and Haiti continues to face challenges in recovery and social stability.
