More than 2000 people died in a week after the Haiti earthquake

A week has passed since the magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Haiti, a Caribbean island nation, with more than 2,000 dead.

In the southwestern part of the country where the damage was severe, there is an area where the support is not enough and the residents are competing for supplies and confusion is occurring, so further support is urgently needed.

According to the Haiti government, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake with an epicenter in western Haiti on the 14th of this month has killed 2,189 people and injured 12,268.

In addition, 322 people are still missing.

One week has passed since the earthquake, and in the southwestern part where the damage was particularly severe, there are areas where relief supplies such as water and food have not arrived sufficiently due to the effects of heavy rain and landslides, and residents' dissatisfaction is increasing.

The footage from the site shows people rushing to the truck with relief supplies and competing for supplies.

Deputy Secretary-General Mohammed of the United Nations, who visited the site, said, "Under the guidance of the national and local governments, we will provide not only emergency assistance immediately after the earthquake, but also at the reconstruction stage," and the United Nations will provide long-term development. He emphasized the need to invest and support government leadership.
