A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/ygjf8xj>PORT-AU-PRINCE Aid is pouring into the earthquake-stricken Caribbean nation of Haiti, even as officials try to estimate the scale of the devastation in a complex and evolving human tragedy.
Here are some of the latest figures provided by various organizations, which are constantly being modified and updated.
DEATH AND DESTRUCTIONDeath tolls are difficult to estimate. The Red Cross has spoken of 45,000 to 50,000 dead. But Lieutenant General Ken Keen, the US general running the relief effort, said the international community should be prepared for the worst and the toll could be as high as 200,000.
At least 25,000 corpses have already been buried, according to Haitian government figures.
The United Nations has estimated that three million people were affected, and 300,000 left homeless. Some 40 tent cities have sprung up in Port-au-Prince, the Red Cross has estimated.
Some 80 to 90 percent of buildings in the town of Leogane, just outside Port-au-Prince near the epicenter of Tuesday's quake, were destroyed, and 50 to 60 percent of buildings in Jacmel to the west were leveled.
The International Organization of Migration has estimated that 200,000 families, comprising up to one million people, need immediate shelter and non-food assistance.
