Earthquake wrecked Haiti, the most impoverished nation in the Caribbean will rise from the ruins and become a city once again.

The French-speaking country’s capital city, Port-au-Prince, was practically flattened when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the island on January 12, leaving more than 200,000 people dead, some 250,000 injured and 1.5 homeless. Some 3 million people lived in the city before the earthquake.

“We need lots of money to rebuild,” Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said. “In time we will put the population to work so that we can be independent (of aid) because the Haitian population is a proud population that is used to working.”
