7.0 earthquake rocks the island of Haiti. Millions have been affected by this devastating disaster.

Haiti native <strong>Wyclef Jean</strong> is asking for assistance for victims of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck near Port-au-Prince on Tuesday.

The devastation was so complete that it seemed likely the death toll from Tuesday afternoon’s magnitude-7.0 quake would run into the thousands. France’s foreign minister said the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission was apparently among the dead.
