A catastrophic earthquake hit the Caribbean State of Haiti. The epicenter was just 25 km from the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Riccardo Venturi documented everything he could: the people, the devastation and the drama of the situation.
Six months later, he returned to Haiti. Port-au-Prince had been transformed into a vast emergency-tent city.
In November, Venturi made a third trip to Haiti. The cholera epidemic was the final blow in the aftermath of the earthquake. The World Health Organization reported in March 2011 that 252,640 people were infected and that 4,672 had died of cholera.
