Aid planes are being refused permission to land in Haiti because of congestion at the main airport.

Cargo aircraft already on the ground in Port-Au-Prince cannot be unloaded because of a lack of manpower.

Three days after the earthquake, survivors are growing increasingly desperate and impatient for help.

Aid workers hoping to distribute supplies are warning they may need more security.

Warehouses are being looted and people are scavenging for what they can.

Bill Clinton  – the UN Special Envoy to Haiti – is going there at the request of President Obama.

He says the negative images of looting shouldn’t deter people from giving aid.

“Ask yourself how you would feel if you couldn’t find your loved ones, you hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in three or four days, there was no clean water, no food – you had a child with a broken leg and nobody was even giving the child aspirin” Mr. Clinton said.

Edmond Mulet from the United Nations – which would have co-ordinated peacekeeping efforts – says it’s still recovering from its own losses.

“Between 50 or up to 100 people are buried there and we don’t know…what’s going to happen” he said.

“The first priority right now for the mission is to put the mission back on its feet – then we will be better in serving the interests of the Haitian population” he added.

Residents are desperate to reach those trapped under collapsed buildings, as well as for water supplies.

Corpses are still piled high on the streets, while authorities have so far buried 7,000 victims in a mass grave.

Irish aid worker Darren Hanniffy, from GOAL said earlier the outlook was grim for anyone caught under collapsed buildings.

“I’m not aware of them finding significant survivors in the rubble” he said.

“The sheer magnitude of this earthquake, the type of construction – poorly built concrete structures – would lend it towards a very poor outlook”.

He continued “Following on from yesterday, little has changed – they’re still pulling lots of bodies from the rubble and lining the streets”.

“So important now that…water is restored”.

“I suppose what is striking is the sheer volume and quantity of what we’re seeing; of the damage, of the destruction and of the bodies” he added.

Haiti-born hip-hop star Wyclef Jean has described the scenes in his home country as like an apocalypse.

He has been helping with the rescue mission and has launched his own charity fund – allowing fans in the US to donate money by text message.

Wyclef predicts the death toll will be much higher than current estimates.

“We spent the day picking up dead bodies all day, that’s what we did” he said.

“It’s so much bodies in the streets that the morgues are filled up, the cemeteries are filled up, so we participated in finding a place where we could put these bodies” he added.
