The Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that the earthquake in Haiti was possible the worst humanitarian crisis in history. The situation is catastrophic, with 90% of the capital city destroyed, as well as the majority of the country's infrastructure, writes LETA.
According to several initial calculations, the number of victims could reach several tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. The horror of the situation was intensified by live people buried in the debris, as well as the worsening sanitary situation, says the foreign ministry.
As already reported, a Latvian Red Cross special fundraising campaign for the victims of the Haiti earthquake is not planned at the moment; however, it is possible to make a donation to the Red Cross account for these purposes.
As reported earlier, the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince was struck last week by a devastating 7.0 magnitude quake.
