The massive 7.3-magnitude earthquake, which on Tuesday became Haiti’s worst in over two centuries, is starting to show how much devastation has been left in it’s wake. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told US network CNN he believed more than 100,000 people had died. The Red Cross says up to three million people are affected.

Describing the scene in the capital as “unimaginable”, Bellerive said: “Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed, there are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them.”

Speaking in Washington, US President Barack Obama vowed “unwavering support” for Haiti after what he called a “cruel and incomprehensible” disaster.
