The United Nations warned today that Haiti's upcoming rainy season is a source of other disasters that have plagued the country in recent years. Rain could pose a new threat to beleaguered survivors of the 7.0-magnitude quake.
The U.N. also said that 132 people had been saved from debris by 67 international teams, a record for such a disaster, but that the Haitian government had declared the search phase over at 4:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Friday
Haiti officially abandoned earthquake search and rescue efforts on Saturday as survivors gathered in a ruined cathedral to mourn the country's archbishop and 110,000 other victims of the disaster.
The government's decision came despite the rescue on Friday of two people who spent 10 days buried in the rubble, but officials said it was aimed at letting aid workers focus on getting supplies to hundreds of thousands of people.
