The slum district of Cite Soleil in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince is one of the areas worst-hit by last week's earthquake

The district is home to many of the city's poorest residents.

Almost a week after the deadly quake struck, the local hospital is overwhelmed with the injured and says there are no relief supplies in sight.
