After the 7.2 earthquake of Haiti the death toll rise to 1,419 while more than 6,900 people injured. The authorities can not estimate how many are still missing.
The real challenge that rescue has to face is the Tropical Storm Grace, which was west of the city of Les Cayes, one of the worst-hit areas by the earthquake, on Tuesday at 6:00 GMT and was moving further westward towards Jamaica, according to the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Rescue workers dug through rubble on Monday in a desperate attempt to find survivors before the heavy rains were able to turn the earth into cloying mud, making locating those buried even more difficult.
The NHC had earlier predicted that Grace could dump up to 25cm (10 inches) of rainfall over the worst affected area. It is feared the deluge could trigger landslides.
On Twitter, Haiti's civil protection agency urged "good neighbours whose space has not been affected" to help shelter displaced people.
It's hard enough to treat survivors of any natural disaster but when the hospitals themselves are under fear of collapse it makes it all the more difficult.
Les Cayes Ofatma hospital is deemed too unsafe so they've brought everyone outside. People swat away flies on hospital beds placed under makeshift tents and trees.
The earthquake compounds problems facing the impoverished nation, which is already reeling from a political crisis following the assassination of its president last month.
Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who is in power until fresh presidential election can be held, has declared a month-long state of emergency and urged the population to "show solidarity".
Haiti has been hit by a series of natural disasters over the past years, including Hurricane Matthew in 2016.
The deadliest was the 2010 earthquake which killed more than 200,000 people and caused extensive damage to the country's infrastructure and economy.
