Bottlenecks and infrastructure damage have been holding up aid efforts
in Haiti.
Aid has been arriving from around the world, but there is little sign
of help beyond the airport, the BBC reports.
Many are spending a third night without shelter or in makeshift camps
in the ruined capital, Port-au-Prince.
US President Barack Obama pledged a huge aid effort, but warned it
would take time for help to reach people.
President Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, working with
Brazil, Canada and other countries, will organise a conference on
reconstruction in Haiti, the French presidency has announced.
Armenian rescuers are also ready to lend a helping hand to Haitians,
Press Secretary of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Susanna
Abrahamyan told "Radiolur."
"Our rescuers are ready to leave for the earthquake zone any moment,"
she said.
