[0:03] Tonight from Haiti, a race against time
[0:06] to save lives. Two days after the deadly
[0:09] quake struck. Under the beating sun,
[0:12] Haitians search the rubble by hand for
[0:14] lost loved ones. Fears of disease grow
[0:18] as bodies pile up on the streets.
[0:20] Violence breaks out as hundreds of
[0:22] thousands are desperate for food and
[0:24] water. And the first US aid starts
[0:28] pouring in. But there's a bottleneck at
[0:31] the airport. CBS News has a team of
[0:34] correspondents deployed throughout the
[0:36] earthquake zone to bring you special
[0:38] expanded coverage of the disaster in
[0:41] Haiti.
[0:47] >> This is the CBS Evening News with Katie
[0:50] Kurrick reporting tonight from Haiti.
[0:55] >> Good evening everyone. Night is falling
[0:57] here in Porta Prince for the third time
[0:59] since the earthquake devastated this
[1:02] country and the desperation and danger
[1:05] grow by the hour.
[1:08] Bodies piling up everywhere could lead
[1:10] to an outbreak of disease. Gangs of
[1:13] lutters roam the streets and thousands
[1:15] upon thousands of Haitians have no
[1:18] homes, no food, no water. The Haitian
[1:21] Red Cross estimates as many as 50,000
[1:24] have died. It's run out of body bags.
[1:27] The State Department confirms one
[1:29] American death. And President Obama
[1:31] today announced $100 million in US
[1:34] assistance as he addressed the people of
[1:37] Haiti directly.
[1:38] >> We say clearly and with conviction. You
[1:41] will not be forsaken. You will not be
[1:43] forgotten.
[1:45] >> The immediate problem is getting aid
[1:47] into this country. There's such a
[1:49] bottleneck at the airport, the FAA has
[1:51] had to stop any more US planes from
[1:54] entering the country.
