Dramatic CCTV shows quake hitting palace

  • 14 years ago

Dramatic footage showing the moment the deadly earthquake struck Haiti's presidential palace in January has been released by the Haitian government.

The CCTV video apparently shows parts of the palace crumbling under the impact of the 7.0 temor. It also show people running, trying to escape.

The deadly quake killed more than 300,000 people and partially devastated the palace.

International aid workers are struggling to care for more than one million homeless Haitian quake survivors amid fears that the hurricane season - which began on June 1 - could cause another humanitarian catastrophe.
