En avril 2010, je m’étais rendu pour la première fois en Haïti, alors que le tremblement de terre venait de frapper durement la capitale.

I got the first news of the two strong earthquakes in the Indian Ocean yesterday. The images of the 2004 disaster that caused huge destruction in the same area and killed more than 230,000 people jumped in my mind.
