Musibah Gempa Bumi Di Haiti 2010 (1 Tahun berlalu)


Pada setahun yang lalu sebuah gempa berkekuatan 7,1 skala Richter mengguncang Haiti. Efeknya sungguh dahsyat.

Menurut kantor berita Associated Press, gempa itu menewaskan lebih dari 200 ribu jiwa, sementara 1,5 juta korban gempa yang selamat kehilangan tempat tinggal.

Pejabat Haiti pun tidak bisa memastikan berapa banyak warganya yang tewas akibat gempa berkekuatan 7,1 pada Skala Richter itu. "Tidak ada yang tahu berapa banyak yang terkubur di reruntuhan , 200.000? 300.000? Siapa yang tahu jumlah mereka yang tewas?" kata Menteri Komunikasi Haiti, Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue.

Bagi rakyat yang selamat, penderitaan tampak masih berlanjut. Pasalnya, tim relawan mengaku lambannya aliran bantuan makanan dan logistik kepada mereka yang membutuhkan. "Kami berharap bisa bertindak lebih baik dan lebih cepat," kata Ketua Program Pangan Dunia, Joseet Sheeran, saat mengunjungi Port-au-Prince.

"Ini belum cukup, kami masih mau nambah lagi," kata Lunie Marcelin, ibu berusia 57 tahun yang memiliki enam anak saat menerima bantuan makanan dari pasukan penjaga perdamaian PBB di kawasan kumuh Cite Soleil.



Sementara itu, rakyat Haiti di Port-au-Prince Minggu kemarin dibuat panik oleh gempa susulan berkekuatan 4,7 pada Skala Richter. Ini sudah lebih dari 50 kali terjadi gempa susulan sejak gempa besar yang melanda negeri miskin di Kepulauan Karibia itu pada 12 Januari lalu.

Pemerintah pun hanya mengimbau agar 600.000 warga yang menggelandang di tempat-tempat terbuka di Port-au-Prince - kota yang berpenduduk 2 juta jiwa - untuk tinggal di kamp pengungsi atau menumpang di rumah kerabat di luar kota.

Lirik Lagu We Are The World For Haiti




There comes a time
when we hear a certain call
When the world
must come together as one

There are people dying
and its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
pretending day by day
That someone, somehow
will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

We are the world,
we are the children
We are the ones
who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
so they'll know that someone cares
So their cries for help
will not be in vain
We can't let them suffer
no, we cannot tell them to wait
Right now they need
our helping hand

We are the world,
we are the children
We are the ones
who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out,
there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change
can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world,
we are the children
We are the ones
who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me (x4)

We All Need Somebody
that we can lean on
When you wake up
look around and see that
your dreams gone
When the earthquakes
would help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks
a magic carpet to stand on
We are the world united
by love so strong
When the radio isn't on
you can hear this song
I got a light on the dark road
you're walking on
A sign posted to find
the dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move
the obstacles you stumbbled on
Someone to help you rebuild
after the rumbles gone
We are the world connected
by a common bond , LOVE
The whole planet singing along

We are the world,
we are the children
We are the ones
who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Everyday citizens,
everybody pitching in
You say more love,
you say no more
You sensing more,
you sensing more love
You and I, you and I
Twelve days no water
where's your will to live?
we'll amplify the love
and watch it multiply
feeling like the world's end
we can make the world win
like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia,
and now Haiti needs us
they need us, they need us

We are the world,
we are the children
We are the ones
who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Haiti, Haiti, Haiti...
