Once again, Haiti hugs the headline after a 7.0 magnitude quake rocked Port-au-Prince last night (January 12), with thousands feared dead. Aid would flow into the Haiti to assist the victims of the calamity, thanks to extensive media coverage, but just like the news about its people being reduced to eating mud cakes to survive and the devastating flood that killed hundreds of people in 2008 (see photo below), as soon as the news on this latest calamity lose its media appeal and fades out of the headlines, again the World would forget about this country which vies with Afghanistan for appalling human development statistics.
