A Haitian man has been rescued from underneath rubble in Port-au-Prince yesterday, eleven days after an infamous earthquake struck the island, killing more than 112,000.  Wismond Exantus, 25, was found alive and well underneath a supermarket by a Greek rescue team shortly after that Haiti’s government called off search efforts.

“I feel good,” Extanus told AFP correspondents from his hospital bed. American, Greek and French search and rescue teams pulled him from the debris once he was found.  When asked how he had survived so long, Exantus said that underneath the market, he has access to ample supplies of Coca-Cola and small snacks that he took full advantage of.

While official search efforts are over, international organizations face a daunting task of feeding and housing a nation that experts say could take a decade to rebuild. U.S. Marines are currently establishing heliports in the periphery outside Port-au-Prince in order to get supplies into inaccessible areas. Aid delivery is then handled by Non-Governmental Agencies, with Canadian and UN armed forces handling secure distribution.
