Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |

 

The official number of people killed in the Haiti earthquake has now risen to more than 110 thousand. Despite the devastation, signs of daily life are resuming in Port-au-Prince.

Taptaps, Haiti's small, private buses, begin circulating along the capital's rubble-strewn streets.

Reopened money transfer agencies also get cash circulating again.

A large local supermarket has seen brisk business since it resumed operations Friday. But the store manager is worried about his limited stockpiles.
