Haiti’s prime minister has told CNN that “hundreds of thousands” of people have died following Tuesday’s earthquake. Meanwhile, Haitian President René Préval said the toll of Tuesday's earthquake was "unimaginable" and estimated that thousands are dead in what President Obama called "a truly heart-rending situation."
