A devastating earthquake
The hours passed and the chances of finding survivors in the rubble in Haiti are very, very slim, according to health experts and survivors.
That is now six days since the terrible earthquake devastated the capital, Port-au-Prince. The search for people still alive continue, but hopes dwindling as time passes.
Three days without water
In general, a healthy person will live up to three days without water and three weeks at most without food.
"After three or maybe four days is a miracle if anyone survived," said Benoit Garneau, spokesperson for Health Emergencies.
"There are always exceptions, but it's very rare that it happens. The main obstacle to survival, it will be the injuries they sustained during the earthquake, "said Benoit Couture, owner of the firm CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Specialist wilderness survival.
Mr. Couture said that in case of injury, "the agency will spend much energy trying to heal the wound or stop the bleeding."
"In doing so, the agency does not suspect we'll stay in one place for several days without eating or drinking, as is the case for some people there," he said.

Therefore, infection is likely to save for the game.
"As time passes, your body will focus its energies to the vital organs. The infection may then grow at an accelerated pace, "said the expert, adding that it must be very ill to the victim.
The chances are dwindling
Benoit Couture said that a person trapped in rubble and devoid of any water and food, the best thing to do is wait, but remain motionless in order to save energy.
"This platform is, but there is not much else to do," let he fall.
While international aid arrives in dribs and drabs in Haiti and that the death toll continues to rise, the Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lawrence Cannon, admitted Monday morning that "the probability of finding people unharmed s 'erode as the hours fly. "
Until now, at least 70 000 people are dead following the disaster.

so sad...
