Haiti's healing far from finished 5 years after deadly earthquake

January 12, 2015 16:05

Haiti officially marks the five-year anniversary of the earthquake today with a ceremony at the site of the mass graves near Port au Prince, where the bodies of so many of the 230,000 killed by the 2010 disaster were unceremoniously dumped.

It will also be marked by smaller ceremonies in Port au Prince itself, including one at a UN compound that crumbled in the quake, and at the Canadian embassy where there's an inukshuk in memory of the 58 Canadians who died in the Jan. 12, 2010 quake.
