Description:
A man carrying a shotgun walks through a collapsed burning building while trying to keep looters at bay on the streets outside in the commercial district of downtown Port-au-Prince Monday January 18, 2010. Looters and scavengers ransacked destroyed buildings with little police presence. Tuesday's earthquake has left the capital in total destruction with thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless and living on the streets. The U.S. military and aid agency are arriving at Port-au Prince's main airport and are trying to fan out across the city with relief supplies but security is lacking in most areas.
