This tragedy is possibly one of the most devastating and humbling events of my lifetime, along with the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami and 9/11. It is only when the magnitude of these events are compared to one's relative life that we can really understand the impact that this has on their local and national lives.
Haiti will suffer an estimated 200,000 deaths from this earthquake. In my life that would be almost HALF the urban population of my home city, Belfast. 1.5 million people are homeless in Haiti;which would be the rest of the population of Northern Ireland that were still alive.
This really puts my issues into perspective. Please give anything you can to help.
