THE full-scale of the human tragedy in the Haiti earthquake is set to worsen as a lack of rescue equipment and medicine leaves emergency crews struggling to cope.
There were no signs of organised operations to rescue the thousands trapped in debris or remove bodies from the streets of the capital Port-au-Prince, Reuters reported.
Haitian Red Cross spokesman Pericles Jean-Baptiste said his organisation - used to dealing with disaster in a country dogged by poverty and natural disasters - was overwhelmed and out of medicine.
"There are too many people who need help ... we lack equipment, we lack body bags," he said.
