About this picture: Haiti earthquake 2010
The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 and was centred about 10 miles west of Port-au-Prince at a depth of five miles, the US Geological Survey said.
USGS geophysicist Kristin Marano called it the strongest earthquake since 1770 in what is now Haiti.
In 1946, a magnitude-8.1 quake struck the Dominican Republic and also shook Haiti, producing a tsunami that killed 1, 790 people.
