About this picture: Haiti Earthquake cries from the rubble turned silent
Rescue teams who have been working around the clock to find the last survivors of the earthquake began winding down their operations in Port-au-Prince as cries from the rubble turned silent.
While dozens of specialised search and rescue teams, who have pulled scores of people from beneath the rubble, remain on standby in the shattered Haitian capital, they were reporting few alerts to indicate any more suspected survivors still alive and trapped beneath the fallen concrete.
The death toll is estimated at 200, 000, according to Haitian government figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80, 000 buried in mass graves.
The commission estimates that 2 million were homeless, up from 1.5 million, and says 250, 000 were in need of urgent aid.
