At least 304 people have died and 1,800 others were injured as buildings tumbled into rubble after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit southwestern Haiti on Saturday morning. As hospitals have become overwhelmed with incoming patients, Prime Minister Ariel Henry said he was doing everything in his power to rush aid to areas where towns were destroyed. The quake struck about five miles from the town of Petit Trou de Nippes, and about 78 miles west of the capital city of Port-au-Prince. According to CNN, a hospital in the southern city of Jeremie has been overwhelmed with intake since the disaster struck, and they've been forced to set up tents in their courtyard for the overflow. "There are a lot of people coming in — a lot of people," an administrator at Hospital Saint Antoine said. "We don't have enough supplies."

We ran to the street.”
