The earthquake occurred at 16: 53 local time (21: 53 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010 . </P> <P> By 24 January, at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded . An estimated three million people were affected by the quake . Death toll estimates range from 100,000 to about 160,000 to Haitian government figures from 220,000 to 316,000; these have been widely characterized as deliberately inflated by the Haitian government . The government of Haiti estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged . The nation's history of national debt, prejudicial trade policies by other countries, and foreign intervention into national affairs, contributed to the existing poverty and poor housing conditions that increased the death toll from the disaster . </P>
