New video shows Haiti earthquake disaster, death toll at 150,000 (videos, photos)

New video shows Haiti earthquake disaster, death toll at 150,000 (videos, photos)

A new video was released yesterday by CNN news showing the first moments after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the nation of Haiti. The video contains a warning due to the fear and panic evident as many of the people are screaming and running. Haiti officials have estimated the death toll to be 150,000 and while watching the video, it is heartbreaking to realize that many people were dead and dying at that moment. Over the weekend, Haitian officials announced that search and rescue efforts would end and that the focus would shift to rebuilding Haiti. There are 4,000 Americans missing in the rubble of Haiti.

The shift in strategy was evident in Port-au-Prince, Haiti today as government workers are beginning to clear out as many of the damaged buildings as possible using bulldozers. The Haitian government is also trying to get a handle on the makeshift tent cities as there are approximately 600,000 homeless Haitians at the moment. Many are too afraid to go back inside buildings; the government is asking for survivors to stay with either friends or families.

Though the Haitian government has called an end to search and rescue efforts, teams are still looking for survivors in the rubble. There are many family members who refuse to give up hope and they continue to search for their loved ones.
