Up to 200,000 people are feared dead as a result of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that has destroyed much of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, officials in the Caribbean country say.
Lorries piled with corpses have been trying to collect the bodies that have been visible on the streets across Port-au-Prince for burial in mass graves outside the city.
"We have already collected around 50,000 dead bodies," Paul Antoine Bien-Aime, the country's interior minister, told the Reuters news agency on Friday.
