Show transcript
In January 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti in the Caribbean, one of the world's poorest countries.
The earthquake was caused by slippage at the conservative margin between the Caribbean plate and North American plate.
Primary and secondary effects of the disaster caused the deaths of more than 220 000 people.
Haiti's position as an LIC influenced its immediate and long-term responses and their effectiveness.
