On Jan. 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck 16 miles away from Port-au-Prince, the capital and largest city in Haiti.
More than 200,000 people died, millions were left homeless, and the country continues to struggle to rebuild amid the severe damage and public health issues like recent cholera outbreaks.
