PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – A frightening new aftershock yesterday forced more earthquake survivors to live on the capital’s streets or sent them fleeing to perhaps even worse conditions in the countryside.The strongest tremor since Haiti’s cataclysmic January 12 earthquake struck at 6:03 a.m., just before sunrise while many were still sleeping. From the teeming plaza near the collapsed presidential palace to a hillside tent city, the 5.9-magnitude aftershock lasted only seconds but panicked thousands of Haitians.UN soldiers run as a powerful new earthquake rumbled across the ruins of Haiti yesterday. (AFP/Olivier Laban Mattei)“Jesus!” they cried as rubble tumbled and dust rose anew from government buildings around the plaza. Parents gathered up children and ran.Up in the hills, where U.S. troops were helping thousands of homeless, people bolted screaming from their tents. Jajoute Ricardo, 24, came running from his house, fearing its collapse.“Nobody will go to their house now,” he said,Vince Carter Magic Jersey, as he sought a tent of his own. “It is chaos, for real.”A slow vibration intensified into side-to-side shaking that lasted about eight seconds — compared to last week’s far stronger initial quake that seemed to go on for 30 seconds.Throngs again sought out small, ramshackle “tap-tap” buses to take them away from the city. On Port-au-Prince’s beaches, more than 20,000 people looked for boats to carry them down the coast, the local Signal FM radio reported.But the desperation may actually be deeper outside the capital, closer to last week’s quake epicenter.“We’re waiting for food, for water, for anything,” Emmanuel Doris-Cherie, 32,NBA Store, said in Leogane,Juwan Howard Wizards Jersey, 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince. Homeless in Leogane lived under sheets draped across tree branches, and the damaged hospital “lacks everything,” Red Cross surgeon Hassan Nasreddine said.Hundreds of Canadian soldiers and sailors were deploying to that town and to Jacmel on the south coast to support relief efforts,Derrick Rose Team USA Jersey, and the Haitian government sent a plane and an overland team to assess needs in Petit-Goave, a seaside town 10 miles (15 kilometers) farther west from Leogane that was the epicenter of yesterday’s aftershock.The death toll was estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian government figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80,000 buried in mass graves. The commission raised its estimate of homeless to 2 million, from 1.5 million, and said 250,000 people needed urgent aid.“It is like working in a war situation,” said Rosa Crestani of Doctors Without Borders at the Choscal Hospital. “We don’t have any morphine to manage pain for our patients.”The damaged hospitals and emergency medical centres set up in Port-au-Prince needed surgeons, fuel for generators, oxygen and countless other kinds of medical supplies, aid groups said.Dr. Evan Lyon, of the U.S.-based Partners in Health, messaged from the central University Hospital that the facility was within 24 hours of running out of key supplies. Yesterday’s aftershock was yet another blow: Surgical teams and patients were forced to evacuate temporarily.UN humanitarian chief John Holmes said at UN headquarters in New York that it’s believed that 3 million people are affected,Harrison Barnes Team USA Jersey, with 2 million of those needing food for at least six months.At the hillside tent camp, set up on a golf course where an 82nd Airborne unit has its base,Terrence Ross Raptors Jersey, the lines of hungry and thirsty stretched downhill and out of sight as paratroopers handed out bottled water and ready-to-eat meals as fast as helicopters brought them in.In one sign of normality, women were seen carrying baskets of cauliflower, sweet potatoes and sugar cane into the city from farms in the hills. Some food and water was on sale in Port-au-Prince’s markets, but prices had skyrocketed.Looking over the golf course scene, 82nd Airborne Capt. John Hartsock said, “This is the first time I’ve seen it this orderly.”President Rene Preval stressed the relative quiet prevailing over much of Port-au-Prince. People understand, he told French radio,Orlando Magic Jersey, “it is through calmness (and) an even more organised solidarity that we’re going to get out of this.”Concerns still persisted that looting and violence that flared up in pockets in recent days could spread. The European Commission’s report described the security situation as “deteriorating.”But U.S. troops — some 11,500 soldiers, Marines and sailors onshore and offshore as of yesterday and expected to total 16,000 by the weekend — could be seen slowly ratcheting up control over parts of the city. The UN was adding 2,000 peacekeepers to the 7,000 already in Haiti,Kyrie Irving Team USA Jersey, and 1,500 more police to the 2,100-member international force.But yesterday’s aftershock,Aaron Gordon Magic Jersey, the stench of the lingering dead, and the tears and up-stretched hands of helpless Haitians made clear that the country’s tragedy will continue for months and years as this poor land counts and remembers its losses.After the tremor’s dust settled, street merchant Marie-Jose Decosse walked past the partly collapsed St. Francois de Salles Hospital in Carrefour Feuille, one of the worst-hit sections of town. She raised her arms to the sky, and spoke for millions.“Lord have mercy, for we are sinners! Please have mercy on Haiti,” she shouted.
