Two years later: Haiti earthquake anniversary

People stand in line looking for jobs during the inauguration of the national referral and teaching hospital, which is still under construction in Mirebalais, Haiti, Tuesday Jan. 10, 2012. As the hemisphere's poorest country marks the second anniversary of the earthquake that killed some 300,000 people, only about half of the $4.6 billion in promised aid has been spent, half a million people are still living in crowded camps and only four of the 10 largest projects funded by international donors have broken ground.
