Girls cry as a little girl is removed from the rubble, Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2010, in Port-AU-Prince, Haiti. Tuesday's quake left a landscape of collapsed buildings _ hospitals, schools, churches, ramshackle homes, even the gleaming national palace _ the rubble sending up a white cloud that shrouded the entire capital.
