video--Haitians face constant setbacks toward recovery

The United States and other governments are doing their best to mobilise an international rescue effort to help the survivors of Haiti's devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake.

But medical assistance and other kinds of aid have yet to reach those rescued from the ruins of Tuesday's catastrophe.

Haiti's main seaport that would have been used to welcome aid is too damaged to use and roads are blocked by debris, although the main route from the Dominican Republic is now clear.

The setbacks have made survivors increasingly desperate and angry as bottlenecks and infrastructure damage delay relief efforts.

Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo reports from the capital Port-au-Prince where people are trying to make the best out of what little they have.
