Question

This map shows the epicenter of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Which of these cities is closest to the epicenter of the earthquake?

Answer 1

Answer:

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck Haiti on Saturday, August 14, 2021, causing widespread destruction in the Caribbean country, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The death toll has risen to at least 2,200 as search and rescue teams raced to find survivors in collapsed buildings and rubble. At least 12,200 are injured and hundreds are still missing.

While World Vision has worked to improve the lives of children in Haiti for 30 years, our programs aren’t near the southern quake-hit zones. However, we’re distributing life-saving food supplies and hygiene kits to 6,000 people and stand ready to help another 240,000 in the affected regions. We’re coordinating with partner organizations to help families along with children in orphanages that lack access to water, food, and electricity. We’ve also received word that community members in our program areas and our staff are currently safe.
