7.0 Earthquake Hits Haiti

A strong 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti today, toppling many buildings. The damage is widespread. Landmarks such as the nation's official palace sustained massive damage and the United Nation's building collapsed.

Civilians and 9,000 U.N. peacekeepers are currently unaccounted for, as many people are trapped under the debris. The Judiciary Report sends Haiti best wishes and prays the nation will receive the assistance it requires in this time of tragedy.
