On 12 January 2010, Haiti was severely hit by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that left an estimated 1.2 million displaced, principally within the capital city of Port-au-Prince, as well as the surrounding region. The level of damage caused to public and private infrastructure has led to the establishment of hundreds of spontaneous displacement sites. IOM, as one of the major humanitarian actors in Haiti, has quickly responded to the needs by implementing a number of programs in support of the affected population.
