Haitian Man Found Alive After Buried Under Rubble For a Month

After being trapped for almost a month, a man was pulled out alive yesterday from the rubble left by the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Named locally as Evan Muncie, the 28-year-old rice vendor was brought to a US field hospital in Port au Prince by people digging out a marketplace. He was emaciated and had open wounds that were festering on both of his feet. Doctors said he was suffering from extreme malnutrition and dehydration, but did not appear to have any injuries caused by the rubble.

The United Nations warned today that it will cut off shipments of free medicine to Haitian hospitals that charge patients, saying it had learned some are levying fees for drugs. UN officials said they had information that about a dozen hospitals — both public and private — had begun charging patients for medicine.
