Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince. Wrecking the presidential palace, UN HQ and other buildings.
The disaster was described as a "catastrophe"
it was said the damage could run into millions.
Official's say up to 230'000 died and more than 1 million were left homeless.
People lost their lives, homes, friends and family.
A number of nations helped over come some problems. Paramedics, shelter, food, medicine were all desperately needed.
The earthquake was so unexpected. it leaves us thinking will this happen again? should we prepare for a bigger hit next time?
