Earthquake aftershocks hit Haiti orphanage

A paediatrics nurse who works at an orphanage just outside the capital Port-au-Prince says aftershocks are still happening from Haiti's huge earthquake.

The 7.0-magnitude quake, Haiti's worst in two centuries, struck south of the capital, on Tuesday.

Susan Westwood from Scotland, says that aftershocks are hitting her building every ten minutes.

The nurse said she fears that sick children will not have access to drinking water or food.
