Survivors flee Haiti's capital

Haitians fled their quake-wrecked capital in the hundreds of thousands today amid government promises of refuge in safe, clean tent cities.

Aid workers said 200,000 people crammed into buses, nearly swamped ferries and set out on foot to escape Port-au-Prince. For those who stayed, engineers started levelling land for tent cities, supposedly temporary, that are meant to house 400,000 people.
