People in the nation of Haiti are struggling to recover after a powerful earthquake caused massive destruction there.
Tens of thousands of people in the Caribbean nation were killed,and many more were injured. The Presidential Palace，which is like the White House in the US，was among the many government buildings that collapsed. Hospitals were destroyed,as were countless homes. The disaster added more suffering to people already struggling to cope with everyday life. Haiti is one of the poorest na?tions in the world.
International aid groups are rushing to provide food,water,and medical aid to Haiti. People worldwide are donating money to help. Many nations, including the US，are sending aid as well as money. The US is sending troops to help with rescue and relief efforts,and to police the streets. "This is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share，" said US President Barack Obama.
The earthquake、s epicenter―the point on the Earth' s surface directly above where it happened ―was about 10 miles from Haiti' s capital，Port-au-Prince. Experts say it was the worst earthquake in the region in more than 200 years. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale, which is very high. More than 30 aftershocks, or smaller earthquakes,came after the big quake.
Some Americans have a special concern about the situation in Haiti―family and friends. Hundreds of thousands of people in the US are from Haiti. They are anxiously seeking news of loved ones. And like other Americans, they are working to help Haiti recover from this disaster.
The earthquake in Haiti occurred on a long fault, or crack in the Earth's surface, which goes across the island. This underground crack separates two giant tectonic (地壳构造上的) plates,or slabs(石板) of rock that make up the Earth' s outer layer. Along the fault，the plates slowly rub past one another in opposite directions. But this movement isn't smooth. The plates' edges get stuck for long period of time. Eventually, they may suddenly jerk. That sudden movement is what results in an earthquake.
