Relief operations expand beyond Haiti's capital

United Nations-supported relief efforts in Haiti are expanding to areas outside Port-au- Prince.

Relief workers are trying to help people in smaller towns and communities as aid agencies struggle to ramp up their operations.

Forty kilometers away from Port-au-Prince the small city of Leogane and its 135-thousand residents were near the epicenter of Wednesday's 6.1 magnitude aftershock.

Ninety percent of the city was already destroyed by last week's 7.0 magnitude earthquake.

Eight days after the earthquake food and water are now beginning to be more widely distributed.
