Grief and Sadness in Haiti

Major Earthquake Devastates Haitian Capital

People grieve together after a relative was killed in the massive earthquake on January 14, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Planeloads of rescuers and relief supplies headed to Haiti as governments and aid agencies launched a massive relief operation after a powerful earthquake killing possibly thousands. Numerous buildings were reduced to rubble by the 7.0-strong quake on January 12.

The two women on the right side of the picture have lowered their eyebrows in sadness, while the other woman has raised her eyebrows (closest to the bridge of her nose). Sadness is one of the base emotions that actually can reveal itself in many different expressions on the face.
