Just hours after Haiti’s government called off the search and rescue attempt for survivors, a 24-year-old man has been rescued alive from the rubble of a ruined hotel in Port-au-Prince.
Wismond Exantus says he survived for 11 days under the rubble by drinking cool drinks and eating “little things”.
He had been working in the hotel’s grocery store when the devastating quake struck.
Greek, French and US rescue teams were involved in the two-and-a-half-hour operation to bring him out of the remains of the hotel.
