Powerful magnitude 7.2 earthquake strikes southwestern Haiti, killing at least 304 people and injuring at least 1,800 others
At least 304 people have died due to a powerful earthquake that struck Haiti, the country's civil protection agency said in an update to the toll.
The magnitude 7.2 quake, which was followed by a series of aftershocks, struck 8 km from the town of Petit Trou de Nippes, about 150 km west of the capital Port-au-Prince, at a depth of 10 km, the United States Geological Survey said. This one - which occurred around 8:30 am local time - hit farther away from the capital, however. In Port-au-Prince, it was strongly felt but did not appear to have caused major damage, according to Reuters witnesses.
