Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A strong aftershock rocked Haiti on Wednesday morning just as much-needed medical aid was set to reach the earthquake-ravaged nation.
The 6.1-magnitude aftershock was about 6.2 miles deep, with an epicenter about 35 miles (60 kilometers) west-southwest of the capital of Port-au-Prince, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
It rattled people struggling to recover from the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that walloped the impoverished country January 12, killing at least 72,000 people.
Such a strong tremor can pose significant danger in a nation where damaged buildings are teetering precariously. The aftershock was the strongest to hit Haiti since last week's original quake, the USGS said.

Just read an article stating...Earthquake created 50,000 orphans.....NO.>>Irresponsible Haitians CREATED orphans.....medical teams already delivering babies.....after the earthquake....Perhaps there is a need for a Planned Parenthood tent while rebuilding this overpopulated society....
God be with these people.
the US needs to take Haiti now and turn it into a US state while it can and create a better place for those people
