  200,000 people dead and more coming in this year's Haiti earthquake. 2010 was devastating for Haitians. When a 7.0 earthquake hit many people were killed, and buried under the rubble of their lost homes, churches, hospitals, and schools. Bodies filled the streets, some alive, most dead, but all in dire need of help. The Haitians have been the poorest nation in the world for years now, and have constantly been struggling, now with this natural disaster the governments have lost all control. Jails have been emptied, children have been orphaned, and Haiti is nothing but a world of suffering and chaos now.
  Upon thinking of this accident I remember Katrina. The hundreds of victims to a natural disaster, unable to receive the help they need. We critisize our past government leader based on his lack of care and aid given to our American disaster, but what do we do to help these other people. This other country unable to help it's self and begging for someone, anyone to send some aid. If people, if our government, if other governments do not send aid the numbers of dead will only continue to rise as the barely living people left lay in the streets next to bloody decomposing broken bodies, with no care, no food, no water to keep them even sustained.
  Though atheist in my beliefs, for this one moment of devastation, I can only pray that someone will help them.
  
  Questions:
  1) What is Obama planning on doing, or doing right now to help these people?
  2) Are other counties getting involved?
  3) I heard that the Red Cross is accepting donations but what are they doing to help these people?
  4) Has the amount of dead bodies gone up yet again? Do they only raise it by 100,000s because when I watched the news it jumped from 100,000 to 200,000. Is there no in between?
  5) I heard there was another Earthquake of smaller measures this morning, is that true? Or is that included in aftershocks?
