The UN has launched an appeal for USD 562 M to help victims of Tuesday's devastating earthquake in Haiti.
UN humanitarian chief John Holmes said the funds were intended to help three million people for six months, the BBC reported.
The earthquake has left tens of thousands of people dead, and rescuers are continuing an increasingly desperate search for survivors.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would travel to Haiti on Saturday.
Haitian Interior Minister Paul Antoine Bien-Aime said that 50 000 bodies had already been collected.
"We anticipate there will be between 100 000 and 200 000 dead in total, although we will never know the exact number," he said.
