Thousands of wounded people are waiting for treatment in Haiti. Medical care is a persistent problem. A new and unregulated market for medicines is emerging in the capital, Port-au-Price.

Crowds seeking treatment for their injuries continue to gather outside Port-au-Prince's hospitals.

Inside, doctors do what they can with limited space and resources.
