The earthquake that hit Haiti on 12 January killed an estimated 222,000 people, injured more than 300,000, and left 1.5 million people homeless. Efforts to support the survival and recovery of the Haitian people following this disaster tested Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the aid system as a whole to their limits. More than 8,000 MSF staff were mobilised to treat more than 358,000 patients.
