As survivors are still being pulled from the rubble the rest are trying whatever they can to survive and the authorities and law abiding citizens are trying to keep chaos from reigning as looters begin to ransack whatever they can.

This is tragic indeed that a country so stricken with poverty are reduced to anarchy and near chaos. It becomes increasingly dangerous for rescue workers as they go about trying to find survivors.
One story has it that a couple of people survived 5 days after being trapped in a collapsed grocery store and ate the food while waiting to be rescued.
A news team put down their cameras at one point and helped rescue a 18 month old baby girl when her cries were heard in a pile of rubble. She survived 3 days.
Yet these miracles still pale in the darkness of the increasing chaotic events that are unfolding there.
Talking with one friend ... seems that a massive rescue and relief effort is going out to this country only for the reason to prevent refugees from flooding to other nearby countries. It sounds like a mean thing to say but it has a ring/feel of truth behind it. It's almost like, here's EVERYTHING that you need... just stay there!
