3. WHO was affected by the earthquake? UPDATE 1 - Saturday, 16 January 2010: "We have already collected around 50,000 dead bodies," Paul Antoine Bien-Aime, Haiti's interior minister told Reuters. "We anticipate there will be between 100,000 and 200,000 dead in total, although we will never know the exact number." UPDATE 2 - Monday, 18 January 2010: The leading US general in Haiti has said it is a "reasonable assumption" that up to 200,000 people may have died. Rescuers pulled more people alive from the rubble at the weekend, but at least 70,000 people have already had burials. UPDATE 3 - Wednesday, 10 February 2010: Haiti's government says around 230,000 people died in last month's earthquake, 18,000 more than its previous estimate. The toll from the 12 January quake is approaching that of the 2004 Asian tsunami, which killed 250,000 people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmJozFdtFVY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iESmmPeHRiU
