Merry Xmas!
I'm pretty sure looting goes on in any place when there's a disaster on that scale - what would you do, after years of instability?

Those poor people
Their suffering seems to never end
We are so very lucky here
Yes. We are so lucky.
Those poor people.
Oh my gosh.
Sky news reporting from an AP link ;
500,000 dead.
President Rene Preval says he believes thousands of people are dead even as other officials give much higher estimates - though they were based on the extent of the destruction rather than firm counts of the dead.
His prime minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, tells CNN: "I believe we are well over 100,000," while leading senator Youri Latortue tells The Associated Press that 500,000 could be dead. Both admit they have no way of knowing.

Bloody Hell, those poor people are cursed. Hundreds of thousands dead doesn't seem like an exaggeration when the earthquake occurred in the capital city and it was bad enough to destroy the President's palace, let alone smaller buildings (not that everyone had the luxury of a building).

News story I heard, said maybe a million dead.

Every single house in the capital is damaged. The city's cathedral has collapsed, the presidential palace collapsed. Dead and dying are lying in the streets. The death toll could be as high as 500.000 dead. This is so awful. Words escape me. These poor people. I feel like crying.
The news just reported a young woman screaming "Its the end of the world."

There are only about 1.3million people in Port-au-Prince in total.
That would suggest nearly all of them are dead, I don't believe that.
In the news reports I have seen so far there are plenty alive and assisting in the rescue efforts.
It is the outlying and very difficult to get at areas, where many of the deaths have/will happened based on what has happened in past disasters of this magnitude.

Hey, Dean Yager!
Medicine Sans Frontieres HQ has collapsed, the U.N's base has collapsed and they're missing their staff. Unreal.
And that firefox app tells me they've had a 4.8 quake 15 miles WSW of Port au Prince about an hour ago, 4.6 quake 20 miles WSW od Port au Prince at ten to seven this evening and a 5.3 quake forty miles away at quarter to three....
God, and another 4.9 quake just registered 20 miles from the city again. There's some serious rumbling going on.

The Boston Globe's Big Picture section is collecting lots of images. Some of them are quite graphic, so caution required.

Wow. All that gives the survivors even less chance of continuing to survive.
I hope the UK lets people from that region stay in the UK legally if they make it here.
