Strong aftershock hits Haiti as troops arrive

The World Food Programme, which has fed 200,000 quake victims, aims to move the equivalent of 10 million ready-to-eat meals in the next week, the United Nations said. An additional 130,000 have been fed by other relief groups.

In Leogane, the epicenter of the violent quake, the lack of advanced medical facilities prevented many severely injured from getting life-saving surgeries.

Meanwhile, one week after the devastating earthquake threw Haiti into chaos, a New York rescue team dragged two children alive from the debris of a two-storey building in Port-au-Prince, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.

The 8-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl, believed to be brother and sister, were rescued about 9:15 pm and reunited with their parents, who had escaped the initial collapse, Browne said. They received treatment at an Israeli tent hospital. (Reuters)
