I saw some people arguing near my house. They were talking about the stolen
ring that was reported few days ago. They were especially suspicios to me. I just
stood there and listened. I personally didn't want to judge people, but i knew they
were partly guilty for the stolen ring. I stayed longer, and finally I heard something
useful. One of them said: „Were did you hide it?“.They went to the car.I followed
them and I took a picture of the registration. After I reported that to the police,
they called the detective and the journalist. I told them everything. They told me

, leaving at least 304 people dead, hundreds more injured or missing and
enormous damage in a country still reeling from the assassination of its

teams will be sent to the area for search and rescue missions.

“The most important thing is to recover as many survivors as possible under


the rubble,” said Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who declared a one-month state
of emergency for the country. “We have learned that the local hospitals, in
particular that of Les Cayes, are overwhelmed with wounded, fractured
people.”

Recovery efforts were accompanied by 15 aftershocks Saturday, including a


preliminary 5.8-magnitude earthquake at 11:20 p.m., according to the U.S.
Geological Survey. Striking a little more than 7 miles north-northeast of the
village of Chardonnières, it was the largest aftershock so far.

Cardinal Chibly Langlois was among those injured in the quake. He was one
of 19 men chosen by Pope Francis to be inducted into the College of Cardinals.

The quake's epicenter was roughly 78 miles west of the capital of Port-au-
Prince, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's website.
"In what is already a challenging time for the people of Haiti, I am saddened
by the devastating earthquake that occurred in Saint-Louis du Sud, Haiti this
morning," Biden said in a statement. "We send our deepest condolences to all
those who lost a loved one or saw their homes and businesses destroyed."

The earthquake, which was felt in Port-au-Prince, had triggered a tsunami


threat in the Caribbean country but it was later canceled.

Naomi Verneus, 34, who lives in Port-au-Prince, said she was jolted awake by
the earthquake and that her bed was shaking.

“I woke up and didn’t have time to put my shoes on," she said. "We lived
the 2010 earthquake and all I could do was run. I later remembered my two
kids and my mother were still inside. My neighbor went in and told them to
get out. We ran to the street."

A "significant" 5.2-magnitude aftershock hit west of the main quake, the U.S.
Geological Survey tweeted, adding that "more aftershocks are expected in the
coming days and weeks." The agency has already recorded a total of nine
aftershocks since the main quake, officials said.

Henry said the "violent earthquake" caused "enormous damage" in parts of


the country and he has mobilized government resources to respond.

"I appeal to the spirit of solidarity and commitment of all Haitians, in order to
unite to face this dramatic situation that we are currently experiencing. Unity
is strength," he said in a tweet.

A powerful magnitude 5.9 earthquake shook the Tokyo area on Thursday


night (local time), injuring more than 30 people, damaging underground water
pipes and halting trains and subways.
Traffic disruptions continued on Friday morning, with local trains delayed and
commuters overflowing from stations.
The Meteorological Agency said the quake was centred in Chiba prefecture,
just east of Tokyo, at a depth of about 80 kilometres. There was no danger of
a tsunami.
It caused buildings to sway and hanging objects such as signs to swing
violently. Chief cabinet secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said there were no
abnormalities at nuclear power facilities in the area.
Most trains operated Friday morning but with major delays and entry
restrictions to avoid overcrowding. There was a long waiting line outside of
Shinjuku station in Tokyo, and hundreds of morning commuters were
overflowing from the Kawaguchi station.
