Haiti

Haiti is in shambles but the world's attention is moving on. This is normal modern media progression. The numbers are gaudy and hard to fathom.

CNN: Numbers tell stories of horror, heroism in Haiti
9 million: Population of Haiti
3 million: Estimated number of people affected by the quake
1 million: Estimated number of displaced people
800,000 to 1 million: People who need temporary shelter
235,000: People who have left Port-au-Prince using free transportation provided by the government. The number who left by private means is undetermined.
At least 50: Aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 or higher that have hit Haiti since the January 12 quake
