As news continues to come out of earthquake-ravaged Haiti, estimates on the death toll continue to rise. The most recent estimates reach 200,000 as the humanitarian relief efforts address the rapidly deteriorating situation for survivors. If the death toll continues to rise, Haiti's 7.0 earthquake could be the deadliest of the last 20 years, surpassing the 227,000 people who died after the 2004 tsunami.
