Haiti: Two months after earthquake

Two months have passed since the devastating earthquake hit Haiti. But the sorrow may never diminish. Survivors on Friday marked the disastrous quake.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit Haiti on Sunday to meet the country's leaders and homeless. Ban earlier this week sobbed during a memorial service for the loss of 101 UN personnel in the quake. It was the UN's worst loss of life in a single incident in its 65-year history.

In a stadium in Port-au-Prince, Haitians gathered for a special ceremony. Two months after the earthquake, many survivors are still seeking the strength to move on.

Anissaire Joseph Berly, Port-au-Prince, said, "I'm a victim of the catastrophe. God gives me strength. Only in his presence can I keep on going."

About 80 percent of Haitians are Catholic. Religion has provided some comfort for many of them since the earthquake.

In downtown Port-au-Prince, around 700 Haitians marched in white in tribute to the dead. They held banners reading "Remembering the students that died. The fight continues."

However, the nightmare seems to refuse to end.

While the march was on, a partially destroyed building collapsed on a group of people. They were inside it, salvaging wood.

Local Resident, Port-au-Prince, said, "Ten Haitians inside, three came out alive. Another seven are here in the building, not coming out. I don't know if they die or are alive. I have three men right here."

Government statistics show the quake killed about 230 thousand people and left 1.2 million homeless. Insiders expect a decade and nearly 14 billion US dollars will be needed, to rebuild the impoverished country.
