In one poor neighbourhood in the Haitian capital, more than 150 children, many of them orphans, waited nearly a week for medical assistance.
The Jan. 12 earthquake destroyed their nursery school, burying 70 children in the rubble and injuring dozens of others.
One little girl named Angelina spent five days under the ruined nursery before being rescued, injured but alive.
A woman named Evelynne Midi St. Jacques is caring for the group as best she can, without medicine to treat their wounds, or any outside assistance.
When asked if she ever felt angry at the devastation and lack of help, she replied no.
"The best thing to do is love each other," she told CTV's Tom Clark, who was led to the nursery last Saturday.
Humanitarian workers, already stretched to the limit in Haiti, had been unable to reach the children until Monday.
Members of Doctors Without Borders drove through the neighbourhood and stopped to examine some of the wounded. Before driving off again, they promised to return with help.
About 1,700 rescue workers have arrived in the Caribbean nation since the magnitude-7.0 quake struck.
There are 7,000 UN peacekeepers and 2,100 international police officers working in the country. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has requested another 2,000 peacekeepers and 1,500 UN police be deployed there.
Another 2,000 U.S. Marines were expected to land in Haiti on Monday. Two Canadian naval ships are expected to arrive early Tuesday morning, with another 1,000 Canadians soldiers on their way in the coming days.
Yet the relief effort hasn't yet reached many of the estimated two million people who are believed to need food and water, medicine and shelter, due to quake's devastating impact.
