Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake on August 15, 2021. The earthquake occurred at the Tiburon Peninsula, leaving at least 1,297 people dead and more than 5,700 injured, according to the country's civil protection agency. The quake also destroyed 13,694 homes, pushing hospitals to the brink and blocking roads that would carry vital supplies. Prior to the earthquake, Haiti was already the poorest nation in the Americas and one of the poorest in the world, with a GDP per capita of $ 1,177 and significant deficiencies in basic services. According to United Nations Development Program, 24.7 percent of Haitians live in absolute poverty, which is less than $1.25 per day. Even more, approximately 59 percent of Haitians live on less than $2 a day. Haiti is also ranked at 0.510 in 2020, which put the country in the low human development category, positioning it at 158 out of 189 countries and territories - a rank shared with Sudan. More positively attempts to redistribute income equality in the nation have been successful, with a Gini coefficient of 41.1 in 2017, an improvement from 60.8 as of 2010. In the 4 years prior to the earthquake the country also demonstrated considerable growth: Year 2020 2019 2018 2017 GDP Per Capita (US S) Annual growth rate (%) 1,177 1,272 1,435 1,294 Questions: 1.
