Yesterday, a shallow M3.5 earthquake, gave the ground a shake, and people rushed out of buildings, windows and into the streets. It was felt in Port-au-Prince, Carrefour and other local towns affected by the M7.0 quake last year.
More than 20 people were injured during the panic.
The magnitude 3.5 earthquake had its epicenter in Leogâne.
This prompted many people to evacuate their offices and homes in panic.
Many cases were reported that in all forms of offices including NGOs, employees jumped from balconies, fearing the worst.
A dozen students from the National Institute of Administrative Management and High International Studies (INAGHEI) were injured in their falls from a 2-storey building.
