The catastrophic earthquake hit Haiti on January the 12th 2010, caused a number of victims about 222,000. The city of Port-au-Prince has been crumbled, whole quarters have been razed, all the main facilities (hospitals, banks, police offices, prisons...) seriously damaged. Even the Presidential and the United Nation palaces. Even before this tragedy, Haiti was facing hard life-conditions: the poverty, the political violence and the organized crime were everyday emergencies. The earthquake had made everything just more drammatic. According to UNHCR estimates, nowadays there are about 1 millions and half of dispiace people, surviving in emergency camps without running water nor health services.
