Thousands of people are feared dead after a powerful earthquake struck Haiti's capital, leaving tens of thousands homeless and buried beneath rubble.
The dead and injured lay in the streets of Port-au-Prince after the earthquake hit the impoverished Caribbean country, toppling buildings including the presidential palace.
The Red Cross and United Nations have unlocked emergency funds and mobilised supplies for a "massive" aid operation amid fears of huge devastation.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said it was gearing up to help a "maximum of three million people".
The headquarters of the UN's Haiti peacekeeping mission were seriously damaged, and the organisation says at least five people died in the building, and more than 100 people remain unaccounted for.
