security concerns in Haiti's earthquake


There are mounting security concerns in Haiti's earthquake-hit capital as distribution problems continue to hamper getting aid to survivors.
Days after the quake devastated Port-au-Prince, killing tens of thousands, there are some reports of gangs preying on residents and looting.
Officials say thousands of prisoners are unaccounted for after the main prison was destroyed.
Relief has been arriving, but little has moved beyond the jammed airport.
Damage to the seaport, roads and other infrastructure has prevented the speedy distribution of food, water and medical supplies.
