Disaster

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - MARCH 04: People walk by a cathedral destroyed by the earthquake on March 4, 2012 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Two years after the 7.0 magnitude quake that killed an estimated 316,000 people, much of Haiti is still in a crisis situation with tens of thousands living in tent camps in and around Port-au-Prince. A growing concern to international donors is a flare-up between ex-members of Haiti's armed forces and the current Haitian President Michel Martelly. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
