2021 Earthquake[edit]

Though this will merit its own separate article, an earthquake of similar or slightly higher intensity just struck Haiti this morning. Should we also reference it here, as it struck near where this one did? 1 Rye998 (talk) 13:46, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add Italian assistance to Haiti[edit]

In 2010, after the earthquake, the Italian government activated a humanitarian aid mission. In 4 days the Italian aircraft carrier Nave Cavour was deployed and sent to Haiti. The aircraft carrier reached Haiti in 10 days. The 882 Italian soldiers and doctors carried out over 300 medical services, trasported 150 people through 6 Italian helicopters and distributed 12 t of foodstuffs, 176 t of medicines and 36 t of potable water. The mission lasted 86 days.
