The United Nations says Haiti's quake is the worst disaster it has ever confronted.

Aid is now being distributed, with a steady flow of relief pouring into the nation's sole airport.

The World Food Programme says it expects to be feeding a million people.

But survivors say help is not happening fast enough as thousands of bodies rot around the capital.
