U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says time is running out to rescue
people trapped by this week's devastating earthquake in Haiti. The Red
Cross estimates 45,000 to 50,000 people have died in the rubble and those
who survived are in desperate need of food, water and medical care.
Search and rescue operations are continuing in the earthquake ravaged
Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, but officials say the window of
opportunity to save those who are buried is beginning to close.
The United Nations estimates as many as 50 percent of the buildings in the
worst-hit areas are damaged or destroyed, leaving some 300,000 homeless.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says many of the capital area's three
million people have no food, water, shelter or electricity.
He is appealing for $550 million from the international community to help
meet the most immediate needs.
"A major humanitarian effort is now well underway," said Ban Ki-moon.
"Although it is inevitably slower and more difficult than any of us would
wish, we are mobilizing all resources as fast as we possibly can."
U.S. President Barack Obama spoke with Haitian President Rene Preval in
what Mr. Obama described as an emotional phone call to discuss the crisis.
Mr. Preval was cut off from his government after Tuesday's quake, which
heavily damaged the presidential palace and government ministries.
The United States is providing the Haitian president with communications
equipment to restore his shattered government and has committed $100
million to the relief effort.
