  • Livis, leaning against a tree at his neighbour Jocelyn's home near Cham de Mars,  Port au Prince. He is helping Jocelyn to rescue his belongings. Livis was not affected directly, he did not lose any family himself,  but his experiences were similar to those of many Haitians living in central Port Au Prince.  He is a Winnie the Pooh fan and reads it to his five children. He says, "If you're excited what is the point? You have no choice but to be calm. Captured in my mind are the scenes immediately after the earthquake: the collapsed buildings, the dead bodies and worst of all the cries for help from those under the debris. The cries that would go unanswered until eventually they stopped. They cried but we couldn't help"

  • All around Port Au prince are the hand painted signs and banners shown in the pictures, such was the desperation shortly after the earth quake. Many went without food and water for several days or more. The tragedy is that  it seems many of these requests went largely ignored. Theo , like many haitians is bemused "We painted a sign saying we needed food and water in the hope that the aid agencies may be able to help, but no one has helped, not one person."

  • Nadine Pleato, opposite a collapsed building in down-town Port Au Prince . She is living in a garage at Latimer 54, near Paloma. She says: "I have just purchased this bag so I can pack a few things and leave Port Au Prince for the provinces. My house was completely destroyed and I lost all my clothes in the quake. All I have left is four pieces of clothing: a skirt and what I am wearing. I have to live and bathe in the street..I didn't know if my mother was alive for six days until she arrived from the provinces with supplies. I was so relieved but I still haven't seen my boyfriend since the morning of the quake. We were with each other a year. He must be dead but I will never know for sure. It's hard to carry on.  How can we be normal now?"

  • Pictured are remains of a training centre for nurses next to Central Hospital. The building collapsed with an estimated 80 people still inside. Government buildings were particularly hard hit in the earthquake for example 87 percent of schools in Port Au Prince  are destroyed. In the foreground the remains of a person still lie. A month after the quake most remains but not all have been cleared from the streets. Inside the buildings very few bodies have been cleared such is the enormity of the task.

  • Geraldine Richards thirty-four, aid queue, Petion-Ville, with her sisters remaining child, Giodania. Geraldine is a jewellery seller. She has five kids, all boys  (twins and triplets), as did her sister prior to the earth quake but only one of her sister's children survived (Giodania, pictured) when their house collapsed in the earthquake. "My sister  is so depressed she hasn't eaten. She lost her husband and  all but one of her five  kids. She hasn't even recovered the bodies. It's necessary to bury our loved ones but the government cleared them away in huge trucks and dumped them in mass graves or they were burnt.  She  has no will to live, she is suicidal. I am looking after her and her kid, one of the bags of food I have is for my sister. I am lucky to get this, if you miss the card distribution you are lucky to get food and getting back with the food is difficult sometimes. The men take it or someone will cut the bag and catch the rice in a bucket, before you realise. All the same, we are thankful for the aid."

Marie's son Emanuel was trapped for 12 days before he was eventually rescued ( the New York Times did a feature on him). The daughter recounts: "I was sitting down at the house when it started to rock then blocks and wood started falling, Romario broke his leg, Mum grabbed us all and we got out all except my oldest brother Emanual.  He was trapped. We weren't sure if he was alive or dead but we kept looking for him. Then my mother and Emanuel heard each other. He called out, 'Mamma I'm alive,' Mum told everybody she could find that he  was alive,  journalists, aid workers rescue workers, After 11 days rescuers ( an Israeli SAR) pulled him out, my mother collapsed from joy."

  • Janne Orelis, 26  is a Sales Woman with two children, Central Hospital Port Au Prince. "The house collapsed on top of me, crushing my right arm" she says. "I was rescued by my family. If it was not for my husband I would be dead,  but it was two days before I saw a doctor.  The pain was terrible, by the time I got to see a doctor there was no choice but to amputate. I can't stop thinking about my arm. But now I am worried sick about my six month old baby. My family have him with them in the provinces, but he has only ever had breast milk. He could be very hungry. As soon as I am able, I will go to him."

  • A policeman and the devastated fuselage of a British Midland Airways Boeing 737-400 series jet airliner which lies on an embankment of the M1 motorway at Kegworth, near East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire, England. On the night of 8th January 1989, flight 92 crashed due to the shutting down of the wrong, malfunctioning engine. Attempting an emergency landing, 47 people died and 74 people, including seven members of the flight crew, sustained serious injuries. The aircraft's tail snapped upright at ninety degrees and here perished most of the passenger fatalities. The devastation was hampered by woodland and the fire fighters are attempting to rescue survivors or extract those killed in this air disaster that proved one of Britain's worst.

  • Phillip Acheles, 47, Main Street, artist. Phillip is a self-taught artist. He was selling this and other artists'  paintings in down-town Port Au Prince, a sign that the economy is moving again, albeit in a limited capacity. "Not since 2006 has there been any prosperity in this country," says Phillip. "It has been in a state of political crisis  for years now. Every time there is  a small recovery, something happens and now the earthquake means the chance of selling paintings to tourists is once more very low."

  • Hundreds of Haitians pray at The Church of God, Rue de Centre 3, during the Sunday service ( 07/02/10) The church was damaged during the earthquake with  many  of the choir singers entombed. Sylvie Selde remembers "The entire group of singers practising were killed. We are still recovering the bodies now, only nine so far. When we recover them we take them to the mass grave or dig a hole and put them in. This is a message from  God, a  judgement,  do the right thing. Stop being wicked".  Many believe that in Port Au Prince one Haitian Alex K Juste is more positive "That day, there was no rich, no poor, no colour, no prejudice, no racism. We were equal, they knew that God existed and their hands were up in the air praising the Lord. We held hands, we cared for each other, we supported the sick.  What a beautiful thing to see us Haitians reunited, together as one".

  • A Haitian sees the bright side as she sits outside her shelter erected opposite the Palace in Cham De Mars. The  choice of cloth for her shack is symbolic and many Haitians are grateful for the aid and support from the US. some  commentators, however,  believe the relationship with the US two hundred miles away,  is what needs to be looked at if things are to improve. One Haitian, Jocelyn, tells me:  "They (The American government)  take with one hand and give with the other.  They swamped Haiti with cheap rice imports putting farmers out of business and forcing them into the capital's slums where they have been aid dependent ever since"

"I was buying some drinking water with my son, Gito and was on the way back  when the ground started rumbling. I cried out, `wow an earthquake!` At that point I looked up to see a two- storey building falling down on me. Large blocks of masonry trapped my arm and fell on my son . My son got free and  went for help. Five men returned and tried to lift the masonry with a large stick but they couldn't do it, they left me. I was petrified, the house next door caught alight and I knew for sure I was going to die" Then I felt someone pulling my arm although no one was there. From that moment I struggled to free myself, I pulled so fiercely that I left my finger behind  It wasn't until two hours later that I realized."

His home fell down on top on him during the earthquake We were all inside but Ronald did not have time to get out.  We must thank God for the opportunity at least, to bury him properly. I feel sorry for the thousands of families who do not have this chance, many cannot find their loved ones. It will be hard for them to move on, it's double the problem.  At least we can visit and put flowers on the grave.  After the quake, there were bodies everywhere many were burnt where they lay or carted off in huge trucks to mass graves."

As soon as the earthquake struck he made his way to the Radio station; by accident or design, some one had left Hotel California radio station playing on a loop. His staff were afraid to go in but he managed to persuade some journalists to come and chat about what had happened and has been broadcasting ever since. "We had a minimum of 5000 people outside  all the time for four days (not the same people). We just gave them a microphone  and then broadcasted  messages all day. "We were like a phone with two people but broadcasting to the whole city. People would call in , 'My wife and kids are under the debris  - would you send help?'; afterwards they would come back and say, thank you."

Most important government buildings have been destroyed including the Palace, Law courts, 87 percent of schools, even prisons leaving  the country with no means to govern. ."I am a steel worker by trade but right now I'm here recovering the bodies from the tax office. We use plastic gloves and put them in plastic body bags. It's not a nice job, the smell almost kills me. I have to drink to get through but I know I am helping the families. The parents are waiting for me each time I pull a body out so they can identify it. They buy me my rum.  I have pulled out one body today but twenty-five in total."

  • Alex is a co-director of 'Haitians helping Haitians' a charity that gives Haitians the means to help themselves, to improve their quality of life. (http://www.hhelpingh.org) Alex Juste was lying on his bed when the earthquake struck: "There was a big shuddering noise, I felt the bed shaking" he says. The walls started opening. I could see right into my neighbours' apartment. I had to see what had happened so I started running. I lost it totally. I was screaming, 'This is the end of the world!'  There were people under concrete,  saying, 'sir, help me,!' But I couldn't do anything." Alex's experience is typical. No Haitian has been left untouched.

  • As stormy waves crash over its super-structure and funnel, the Liberian-registered MV Braer oil tanker spills 84,700 tonnes of crude oil into the North Sea. It sits below its water-line with crude oil leaking from its ruptured tanks after running ground in hurricane force winds, beeching itself on these rocks in Quendale Bay, west of Sunburgh Head, the Shetland Islands, Scotland. In fast-fading light, this ecological disaster occured in a beautiful region of Great Britain affecting much native wildlife although the Gulfaks oil the Braer was carrying is lighter therefore more biodegradable and able to disperse better than other North Sea crude.

  • Daphene Louis, an accountant and her boyfriend Steve Babtiste  who works in  customer care at Digicel at the  Catrine -Flon Camp, Puit-Blain St, Delmar 75, Port Au Prince. "It was twenty-four hours after the quake before I saw my boyfriend. There were no communication networks and I had no way of knowing if he was dead or alive. When I saw him, I was so relieved I just jumped on him! Now we live in this camp under sheets held up with timber. It is very hard to get shelter from the sun,and when the rains come  there will be  no protection at all.  We need proper tents but even one month on we have been unable to get help. We have no privacy here, it's always noisy. We don't even have chance for a cuddle. It would be great to get a proper mattress, but we don't even have rice so that's not high up in our priorities."

  • All around Port Au prince are the hand painted signs and banners shown in the pictures, such was the desperation shortly after the earth quake. Many went without food and water for several days or more. The tragedy is that  it seems many of these requests went largely ignored. Theo , like many haitians is bemused "We painted a sign saying we needed food and water in the hope that the aid agencies may be able to help, but no one has helped, not one person."

He is standing in front of the cold stores each of which hold about 60 bodies. Relatives are still coming to see if they can identify their loved ones such is the need to know if their families are just missing or dead.  People are searching high and low for loved ones even knowing that the chances of finding them dead or alive must be miniscule when so many have been cleared into mass graves or burnt where they lay. "After the earthquake, all the bodies were piled outside this morgue. There was a huge pile of two to three thousand and inside there were bodies piled up to the ceiling.  Every time the earth trembled, the after-shocks caused the bodies to move and I could smell the dead"

  • Cantrine-Flon Camp has approximately 3500 refugees who have very little at all. At the moment they are surviving on yams and potatoes, buying their own drinking water and using a field for sanitation. They need tents and medicine, since what they had donated by a Haitian doctor, is sparse. Malnutrition is a problem along with vomiting, diarrhoea and infections. ."Every time there is a bang, I jump. We all do, it's a kind of collective trauma. Since my house fell down I have been living in this camp but conditions are not good. All we've had to eat so far is yams and potatoes. There are no tents, toilets, little medicine and we buy our own drinking water with what money we have."

  • At the base of the Monument which commemorates the Great Fire of London, a courier driver from the United States Postal Service (UPS), stands with his head in his hands as if in reaction to the conflagration behind. Above him is a giant mural, whose huge figures depict the panic and evacuation during the disaster that struck London between 2nd of  September and Wednesday, 5th September 1666. The modern man in company uniform is wearing the same brown colours as that of King Charles II and his courtier who are also reacting to the news of the city's burning timber buildings. 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St. Paul's Cathedral, and most of the buildings of the City authorities were lost in the high fanned winds. It is estimated that it destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the City's 80,000 inhabitants. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.
