Former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton made their first joint visit to Haiti, which was devastated by a strong earthquake on Jan. 12.
On a tour of the quake-torn capital, the two former presidents visited the Champ de Mars, the national mall, which is providing shelter for some 60, 000 homeless survivors amid tight security, according to reports reaching here from the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.
Bush said at a joint press conference with Haitian President Rene Preval in the national palace, which almost collapsed in the quake, that he was shocked by the damage inflicted by the natural disaster.
