Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |

 

For more information on the aftermath of the earthquake, we speak to NICO MAOUNIS, who is in the Haitian capital. Hello, Nico, thanks for joining us.

Question 1: Two nights have passed since the devastating earthquake struck Haiti. With the damage being so severe it's still hard to form a complete picture of the exact losses. It must have been tough for you to reach the site. How did you get there? What have you seen in the city.

Question 2: Where did survivors spend the night? Did you speak to any of them? What's the general mood like among the people?

Question 3: We know search and rescue teams are arriving from around the world. But have the local rescue operations been carried out in a systematic and organized way? As far as you know, what are the major difficulties hampering rescuers?

Question 4: We know China's rescue team arrived in Port-au-Prince. Do you have any information about their action plans?
