This is the trailer of the first web documentary about the earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, 2010. Earthquake Kids – Children and their Rights in a Devastated Haiti shows how the children – who make up 40% of the country's population – were affected by the tragedy. Many became orphans, while others were removed from their families and taken illegally overseas.

Sanitary conditions and access to health care and education – which were already precarious – are now even more volatile. The images, recorded by NGOs and UN agencies operating in Haiti, reveal shocking scenes of the desperate situation faced by the population in the early days following the earthquake.

In this web documentary, you will see a devastated Haiti – putting at stake the future and the rights of its children.

The web documentary will soon be available in full at this address.
