Haiti earthquake: A look back a year later

Posted On: 5:00 p.m. Bryan Chan | January 11, 2011

On Jan. 12, Haiti will mark the first anniversary of the devastating 7.0 earthquake that  killed an estimated 230,000 people and left 300,000 wounded and 1,000,000 homeless.  In that time Haitians have struggled to recover. The year was made more difficult with Hurricane Tomas causing floods in ramshackle neighborhoods  and in the displacement camps. The storm also spawned a cholera outbreak that killed more than 2,000. In November, Haitians went to the polls to elect a new president. Times photographers Carolyn Cole, Rick Loomis, Brian van der Brug and Liz O. Baylen were on the ground covering the earthquake and its aftermath. More coverage can be found HERE
