The quake, the largest in the region in more than 200 years, has been devastating, and throughout Port-Au-Prince buildings have collapsed, leaving people trapped and streets blocked with the ruins of fallen buildings. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/01/14/a1_540x377.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here is the same area as seen after the earthquake.</blockquote>
