Haitians Grow More Desperate Amid Slow Aid, Stench of Death
Haitians Grow More Desperate Amid Slow Aid, Stench of Death

With nowhere else to go, Haitians in Port-au-Prince slept overnight in the
city streets, families huddling together in makeshift tents as loved ones
remained buried under rubble, with rescue crews stretched thin and
international aid still just trickling in from stockpiles at the airport.
While some people have been rescued from the ruins, hope is fading fast
for many still trapped since Tuesday's earthquake.
There was some good news Friday just before sunset, as an Australian
television crew helped pulled a 16-month-old child from wreckage after her
screams could be heard from under her two-story collapsed home.

But many have not made it. Some estimates of the death toll have ranged
well beyond 100,000, though reliable numbers have been hard to come by
amid the confusion.
Haiti earthquake: President Preval says country like a war zone
Haiti's shell-shocked president thanked the world for its rush to aid his
poor Caribbean nation after the catastrophic earthquake that he compared
to a wartime bombardment.

Haitian President Rene Preval said: "The damage I have seen here can be
compared to the damage you would see if the country was bombed for 15
days. It is like in a war."
The 7.0-magnitude earthquake that devastated much of the hilly coastal
city on Tuesday also collapsed the elegant presidential palace and his own
home.
Authorities in Haiti, already the poorest nation in the Western
Hemisphere, are saying they believe the death toll will be between 100,000
and 200,000 and that three-quarters of the city will need to be rebuilt.
Preval, 66, a balding, greying figure, appeared like many of his
countrymen stunned by the enormity of the catastrophe.
The 66-year-old leader told the Reuters news agency in an interview
outside the police station that has become his home and office in the
wrecked capital Port-au-Prince he hadn't slept for two days after the
quake hit.
"I do not have a home, I do not have a telephone, this is my palace now,"
he said, smiling wryly and pointing to the headquarters of the judicial
police where he is staying.
