Workers are engaged in the grim task of digging mass graves in land around the capital Port-au-Prince. One worker Foultone Fequiert, 38, told of receiving thousands of bodies each day. I have seen so many children, so many children, he said. I cannot sleep at night and, if I do, it is a constant nightmare. Luckner Clerzier, constructing new graves nearby, said: We just dump them in, and fill it up. About 200,000 people are believed dead after the quake struck on Tuesday last week, with another 250,000 injured and 2million people left homeless according to revised estimates. More than 120 people have been found by rescue teams, while aid agencies are seeing patient backlogs of ten to 12 days at their surgical sites. Meanwhile, Guantanamo Bay is being transformed into an emergency relief camp for thousands of Haitians who have fled their homes. About 100 tents, each capable of holding ten people, have been put up and 1,000 more are on hand. The new arrivals will have no contact with the 200 terror suspects awaiting repatriation at the infamous prison in Cuba. Uncharted waters: Survivors pile into boats at Port-au-Prince to flee Haiti
