STORYLINE:
Former US President Bill Clinton, the United Nations special envoy for Haiti, arrived in the quake-hit nation on Monday.
Clinton, accompanied by his daughter Chelsea, arrived as troops, doctors and aid workers continued to flow into the country on Monday.
The former president assisted unloading some supplies from one aid plane.
But help was still not reaching many victims of Tuesday''s quake.
French and Brazilian officials have complained that critical aid flights were not given permission to land and the Haiti operations manager for Doctors Without Borders, Benoit Leduc, said the diversion of three cargo planes to the neighbouring Dominican Republic had slowed urgent medical aid.
Roughly 200-thousand people may have been killed in the magnitude 7.0 quake, the European Union said, quoting Haitian officials who also said about 70,000 bodies have been recovered so far.
EU officials estimated that about 250,000 were injured and 1.5 (m) million were homeless.
Even many people whose houses survived are living outside for fear unstable buildings could collapse in aftershocks.
Clinton has joined former US President George W. Bush in leading a campaign for donations to help the country.
He was also scheduled to meet Haitian President Rene Preval during his visit.
