I remember when I was in school during the 2004 tsunami. The hot topic was 'where was God in all of this?' It appears as though every time a massive natural disaster occurs with massive loss of life, the atheists and skeptics are quick to jump up and show how unjust God is. Well, as Ravi Zacharias has said (in my paraphrase), "Didn't they realize they gave up their right to ask 'where is God in this?' when they claimed he didn't exist?" 

Shouldn't an atheist or skeptic who has denied God in the first place give an answer for evil occuring from their worldview?

But, nevertheless, we need to answer certain questions given that God does exist. So, how do we respond when faced with these sorts of questions? Does God hate Haiti?

Here is a well reasoned biblical response from Al Mohler.

Paul Graham
Luke 13:2-5
written by Paul Graham, January 26, 2010
An important passage in these instances, that Al Mohler refers to but does not reference in his blog; Jesus warns us against trying to decipher the judgment of God in calamity, but heed the warning for ourselves.

"Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."
