Death Toll In Haiti Quake Stands At 724, Thousands More Injured

A one-month state of emergency was declared by Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who said that some towns were completely leveled by the quake.

"The most important thing is to recover as many survivors as possible under the rubble," said Henry, adding "We have learned that the local hospitals, in particular that of Les Cayes, are overwhelmed with wounded, fractured people."

While the International Red Cross and hospitals throughout the rest of the country are helping to care for the injured, USAID Haiti announced on Sunday that they're 65 emergency response personnel, and will send 52,000 pounds of special tools, equipment and medical supplies to support rescue operations.
