When Haitians started their day on 12 January ten years ago, they could not have imagined the devastation that was about to befall their country. Later that day, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck, claiming the lives of more than 220,000 people. The quake, one of the deadliest natural disasters on record, destroyed much of the country’s fragile infrastructure and left many Haitians in dire need of assistance. Some 1.5 million people were displaced, according to the International Organization for Migration. Donors from around the world gave billions of dollars to aid agencies who made promises to rebuild. But a decade later, Haitians who survived say they feel forgotten, as much of the goodwill and billions have been lost to waste, greed and corruption. The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake, with an epicenter near the town of Leogane and approximately 25 kilometers west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time on Tuesday, 12 January 2010.

The Free Burma Rangers identifies itself as a multi-ethnic humanitarian group working in Burma, Syria, Iraq and Kurdistan. Burma is the former name of Myanmar and is still commonly used. Dave Eubank established the FBR in Myanmar in 1997, with a slogan drawn from a Bible verse calling on people to ‘preach good news to the poor’ and ‘release the oppressed.’ Early 2019, the group helped to ferry out thousands of people who streamed out of the last scrap of Islamic State territory in Syria’s far east, where the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces Syrian (SDF) defeated the jihadist group on the conventional battlefield. Shelling by Turkey-backed opposition fighters killed Zau Seng a Myanmar national working as a cameraman, medic and member of the humanitarian team FBR in northeastern Syria where fighting between Kurdish fighters and Turkey-backed gunmen continued. David Eubank, a former member of US Army Special Forces and the founder of the Free Burma Rangers, stated that the attack occurred about 4km from the northern town of Tal Tamr. Eubank said the medic, Zau Seng, was hit in the head by shrapnel from a mortar shell that struck nearby as he was filming a video of the fighting. ‘He died right away and we brought him here to Tal Tamr,’ Eubank said, which also showed one of the aid group’s armored vehicles hit by shrapnel. Eubank added that an Iraqi team member was also wounded in the mortar attack, which he blamed on the ‘Free Syrian Army and Turks, Zau Seng was my brother and hero.’ He leaves behind a wife, Lunu, and daughter, who celebrated her first birthday today.Reference text sources: Free Burma Rangers, SCMPEarlier in the day, Mustafa Bali, a spokesman for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, tweeted that he ‘received terrible news’ of the death of a medic with the Free Burma Rangers, putting the blame on the Turkish army. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, also reported the death of the medic. Turkey’s defense ministry denied that Turkish troops attacked the aid convoy, saying that the reports ‘are not true’.

The Observatory said the fighting was concentrated near the town of Zirkan in the northeastern province of Hassakeh, adding that a Turkish drone attacked positions of the Kurdish-led forces in the area. The Kurdish Hawar news agency said Turkish troops pounded Zirkan with artillery shells amid fierce fighting. It added that Turkey-backed fighters are trying to cut the M4 highway that links the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, with Hassekeh, adding that the Syrian Kurdish fighters repelled the attacks. The fighting continued two days after Turkey and Russia launched joint patrols in northeastern Syria, under a deal that halted a Turkish offensive against Syrian Kurdish fighters who were forced to withdraw from the border area following Ankara’s incursion. Though the truce has mostly held, it has been marred by accusations of violations from both sides and occasional clashes. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to resume the offensive if deemed necessary.The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement working to bring help, hope and love to people in the conflict zones of Burma, Iraq, and Sudan. Working in conjunction with local ethnic pro-democracy groups, FBR trains, supplies, and later coordinates with what become highly mobile multipurpose relief teams. After training these teams provide critical emergency medical care, shelter, food, clothing and human rights documentation in their home regions.
