On Tuesday 12th of January at 16.53pm local time the biggest Earthquake to hit Haiti for 200 years struck with devastating force

Pictured are remains of a training centre for nurses next to Central Hospital. The building collapsed with an estimated 80 people still inside. Government buildings were particularly hard hit in the earthquake for example 87 percent of schools in Port Au Prince are destroyed. In the foreground the remains of a person still lie. A month after the quake most remains but not all have been cleared from the streets. Inside the buildings very few bodies have been cleared such is the enormity of the task.
