A crack in this Haitian road bears witness to the force of the earthquake that devastated the island nation a week ago.
Some 70,000 people have already been buried. For those who survived, the situation is grim.
Many are living in makeshift camps set up on sports pitches and in empty fields. The aid effort is gearing up, but is hampered by the sheer scale of the need.
Some plan to escape from the city. At the wharf many queue, hoping to get a ride out of the destroyed capital.
As supplies only trickled into some areas of the capital, people took what they could find from damaged shops.
With violence in some areas, Haitian security forces are struggling to keep control of the city.
The UN has approved an additional 3,500 peacekeepers for the island.
Haiti's powerful neighbour, the US, is providing much of the manpower but there have been diplomatic grumblings that the country is taking over.
