People sit in an empty lot near the collapsed Cathedral in the aftermath of a massive earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti on Jan. 12, killing and injuring thousands and leaving many homeless.
Betina Joseph, 5, lies on a cot as her mother Denise Exima, 28, wipes her face at the University of Miami-run field hospital at Haiti's international airport in Port-au-Prince, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010. Doctors said that tetanus developed in Betina's small leg wound and if she's not evacuated in the next 24 hours, she may die. Efforts to treat the injured suffered a setback as the US military said it had halted flights carrying earthquake victims to the US for emergency medical care, because of an apparent cost dispute.
