A massive 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Saturday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey said, raising fears of destruction similar to the devastating 2010 quake that shattered the country. At least 304 people have died and more than 1,800 were injured, according to Haiti's civil protection service. The USGS predicts the death toll could reach into the thousands. "It looks like it's really bad," USGS geophysicist Paul Caruso told NPR. "There could be a lot of casualties." Caruso said Saturday's quake is on par with the 2010 quake because of its similar magnitude and because it occurred along the same fault line. A 7.0-magnitude quake hit Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010, leaving an estimated 220,000 dead, some 1.5 million people displaced and about 300,000 injured. Ariel Henry, Haiti's new prime minister, in a translated tweet extended his sympathies "to the parents of the victims of this violent earthquake which caused several losses of human and material lives in several geographical departments of the country." Henry said he will declare a state of emergency for one month as the country assesses the damage from the disaster and sends teams to the area for search and rescue missions. —Dalia Faheid, NPR Follow @inkagnedotv ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ayiticheri #blackexcellence #growinguphaitian #haitianculture #haitianflagday #haitianqueen #haitians #haïti #lunionfaitlaforce #lunionsuite #madeinhaiti #prayforhaiti #sakpase #teamhaiti #thisishaiti #welcometohaiti #beautycare #beautifuldestinations #haitianbeauty #haiti #haitiangirl #prayforhaititeam #haitianproud #prayforhaitians https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmZayqHa1u/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just visited a women's prison in Haiti. One small cell had around 30 women in. They took it in shifts to sleep as there obviously wasn't enough room to all lie down. The smell was second to none. Harrowing. 💔 We sang for them, prayed for them, & took them sandals for their feet. Not sure what else to say...😶#prayforhaitians #makepovertyhistory #togetherwecanmakeachange #CompassionInternational (at Pétionville)

Today we had the amazing privilege of meeting four young adults who have been sponsored to go through school since age 4 through @compassionuk. These men and women have MASSIVE hopes and dreams to become diplomats, computer scientists, and when they start work they each want to sponsor children and build orphanages in Haiti! Seriously touched.
