Haiti is still recovering from its 2010 disasterThe impoverished Caribbean nation, which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, is still recovering from the 2010 disaster. There were 52 aftershocks that followed the 2010 quake, which raises the question of how much damage is still yet to come from today's tremor.
In 2017, the United Nations said that 2.5 million Haitians still needed aid following the quake that devastated the country seven years earlier. At the time, UN Humanitarian Coordinator Mourad Wahba gave a harrowing account of the challenges that the country continued to face. "There are still about 55,000 people in camps and makeshift camps," he said. "Many are still living in unsanitary conditions due to displacement caused by the earthquake. We have a very long way to go."Saturday's quake also comes amid unrestOur goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.

He says he expects that number "to go much higher" and discusses how the country can recover ahead of Tropical Storm Grace.
