Story
The people of Haiti are still reeling from the earthquake that killed thousands of them and left the fate of millions more hanging on aid supplies.
Bodies are piled up in the streets of the capital Port-au-Prince which has been virtually destroyed. Meanwhile, survivors try to dig out the untold numbers still trapped under rubble.
Aftershocks continue to rattle the city of two million as people covered in dust claw out of debris, wailing. Others wander the streets stunned and holding hands. Thousands gather in public squares to sing hymns.
A massive international aid operation is gathering, but almost 24 hours after the magnitude 7.0 quake hit, the Haitians were mostly on their own.
The full scale of the disaster in one of the world's poorest countries is still unclear, as communications were virtually wiped out along with the buildings.
