The Haitian Government has raised the confirmed earthquake death toll to 150,000 and said the figure could double as reports from outside the capital are collated.
As international donors were preparing to meet overnight in Montreal to discuss rebuilding Haiti, aid agencies said food, water and basic supplies were reaching more people but clinics were also starting to see more infections and complications from amateur medical treatment.
The confirmed death toll in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area alone had topped 150,000, said the Communications Minister, and more bodies remained uncounted. Corpses are still visible in the rubble in neighbourhoods such as Petionville, Gressier, Carrefour and downtown.
