There were sightings of gangs of young men with machetes in the Port-au-Prince's old commercial center. They were seen getting into stores and taking all the supplies they could carry. The members of the gangs were seen marching up and down the streets with machetes raised and the competition among the gangs turned quite fierce.

There was no sign of police or any kind of law and order.
Survivors of the earthquake in Haiti face deadly outbreaks of diarrhea, measles and malaria after its already fragile clean water and health-care systems were destroyed.
