Ein zerstörtes Gebäude ist am 13. Januar 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, zu sehen. Unmengen von Rettern und Hilfsgütern gingen nach Haiti, als Regierungen und Hilfsorganisationen nach einem starken Erdbeben, das möglicherweise Tausende Menschen getötet hat, eine massive Hilfsaktion starteten. US-Präsident Barack Obama ordnete schnelle und aggressive Rettungsmaßnahmen für die USA an, während die Europäische Union ihre Krisensysteme aktivierte und das Rote Kreuz und die Vereinten Nationen Hilfsgelder und Hilfsgüter für die mittellose Nation bereitstellten. Ein Großteil von Port-au-Prince wurde durch das Beben von 7,0 am 12. Januar in Schutt und Asche gelegt, aber der Flughafen war betriebsbereit und ebnete den Weg für internationale Hilfeleistungen, die sowohl auf dem Luftweg als auch auf dem Seeweg eingesetzt werden konnten.
