Thousands of people in Haiti remain desperate for food, water and medical
care as relief workers struggle to distribute aid supplies after a
devastating earthquake.
International relief organisations and teams from the United Nations are
finding it difficult to move tonnes of supplies from the airport near
Port-au-Prince, the capital, for distribution across the Caribbean nation
devastated by Tuesday's quake.
Haiti's government says that at least 50,000 people have died as a result
of the magnitude 7.0 quake. Some relief organisations though say the death
toll could be as high as 200,000.
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from the centre of the capital, said
the situation is desperate for many people left homeless.
"People here are not receiving any aid whatsover. They lack food, they
lack water. During the night you can hear them sing, trying to comfort
each other.
'Losing hope'
She said many people have lost loved ones or at least know people who have
died in this earthquake.
"Some people say they don't even know if their brother or sister is alive
[because] many people remain trapped underneath the rubble. But it seems
people are losing hope at this point of finding survivors."

Aid flights have been arriving at the airport faster than ground crews can
unload them, prompting aviation authorities to restrict non-military
flights for fear that jets would run out of fuel while waiting to land.
Confusion reigns
Christopher Loundermon, a US Navy spokesman for Joint Task Force Haiti,
said US teams on the ground understand the frustration felt by many
Haitians and are working to meet their needs.
"We are doing our best," he told Al Jazeera.
"If we get more forces in, we will also be able to increase the amount of
supplies that are delivered. If other organisations and other countries
are able to provide more assistance, more will get out to the people of
Haiti.
"The United States is here to help [the people of Haiti] and we'll be here
as long as it takes."
