Haiti\u2019s civil protection agency says at least 29 people killed in earthquake.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Saturday, with the epicenter about 125 kilometers (78 miles) west of the capital of Port-au-Prince, the U.S. Geological Survey said.<\/p>\n

Haiti\u2019s new prime minister, Ariel Henry, said on Twitter that the \u2033violent quake\u2033 had caused loss of life and damage in various parts of the country. He said he would mobilize all available government resources to help victims and appealed to Haitians to unify as they \u2033confront this dramatic situation in which we\u2019re living right now.\u2032<\/p>

\n

The impoverished country, where many live in tenuous circumstances, is vulnerable to earthquakes and hurricanes.<\/p>\n

It was struck by a magnitude 5.9 earthquake in 2018 that killed more than a dozen people, and a vastly larger magnitude 7.1 quake that damaged much of the capital in 2010 and killed an estimated 300,000 people.<\/p>\n
