In PHOTOS: The tragedy called Haiti
It's been a year since a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, killing more than 200,000 residents and leaving more than two million homeless
The earthquake levelled the capital city, delivered a severe blow to still shaky Haitian economy and infrastructure, and impeded nation-building efforts in the country.
The catastrophe also led to a climate of political uncertainty, interrupting a period of relatively smooth progress towards legislative, presidential, and municipal elections previously scheduled to be held in February 2010.
More deaths occurred owing to floods and a subsequent cholera outbreak in the later half of 2010. With only 5 per cent of the rubble cleared till date, with crime rates blowing out of proportion and with the political mess around, Haiti the nation is today in shambles.
