PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) -- Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after a powerful earthquake crushed thousands of structures, It seemed clear that the death toll from Tuesday afternoon's magnitude-7.0 quake would run into the thousands. International Red Cross spokesman said a third of Haiti's 9 million people may need emergency aid and that it would take a day or two for a clear picture of the damage to emerge. Aftershocks continued to rattle the capital of 2 million people as women covered in dust clawed out of debris, wailing. Stunned people wandered the streets holding hands.

Thousands feared dead in devastating Haiti quake
Bodies littered the streets of Haiti's devastated capital on Wednesday after a powerful
earthquake that may have killed thousands from shanty towns to
luxury hotels and even the presidential palace.
With victims pinned under debris and powerful aftershocks rattling
the country, looting broke out soon after the 7.0 magnitude
quake which spared no part of the capital Port-au-Prince, which
was close to the epicenter.
