An earthquake, a tropical storm, hits Haiti a month after the presidential assassination

The rubble surrounded the Haitian people as dust and debris contaminated their skin and clothing. People from the hard-hit towns of Lee Caye and Jeremy looked to their surroundings to see that some of the previously reconstructed homes had once again collapsed.

According to the New York Times, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on August 14. The earthquake killed more than 2,200 people, injured thousands, and left many without homes, with 300 people still missing. Two days later, on August 16, Tropical Storm Grace hit Haiti, further damaging the country’s infrastructure and economy.

The combination of the two natural disasters comes after Haiti experienced a political crisis over the July 7 assassination of President Jovenel Moise. According to Reuters, Moyes was killed inside his home in Port-au-Prince, the country’s capital. His wife, Martin Moyes, was seriously injured and was sent to Miami, Florida, for treatment.

Due to the assassination, the coronavirus pandemic, and rebuilding from previous natural disasters – Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and the January 2010 earthquake – Haitian society has been devastated with so many people losing housing, and the government is not financially equipped to repair damaged buildings.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka, whose father is from Haiti, shared her grief over Haiti in a Twitter post and said she plans to send the money she received from the West and South Open in Cincinnati to the country.

“It really hurts to see all the devastation that’s going on in Haiti, and I feel like we can’t really get a break,” Osaka said. “I am about to play a tournament this week and I will be giving away all the prize money to the relief efforts in Haiti. I know that the blood of our ancestors is strong. We will continue to rise.”

The Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, and the United Nations have pledged to send humanitarian aid — items such as water supplies and food — to Haiti. However, people like Mydgie Pierre-Louis, a Haitian-American who recently graduated from IU, are concerned about sending aid into the country and where it is headed.

After the 2010 earthquake, Pierre-Louis said, many Haitians have not been able to determine how the money is helping rebuild society, and are worried that they won’t be able to cope with that earthquake either.

“People were not happy,” said Pierre-Louis. “When COVID happened, there was no relief. So people are reluctant to trust foreign aid sometimes with money and even food.”

The August 14 earthquake was stronger than the 2010 earthquake, with a 7.0-magnitude earthquake killing more than 200,000 people. This earthquake is expected to result in fewer casualties since the earthquake struck far from the densely populated city of Port-au-Prince.

Pierre-Louis said she is proud of her heritage and Haitian society because of the perseverance of her people through hardships.

“Haiti is very important to me even though I am here,” said Pierre-Louis. “The resilience of its people, that’s why I love Haiti.”
