More than 2 lakh people are estimated to have died in the earthquake.

Port-au-Prince: Nearly a month since the deadly earthquake, Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince is still a graveyard.

In the ruins of the National Nursing College as many as a hundred students remain crushed under concrete.

At first on a site like the nursing college it's hard to understand what you're actually looking at.

It's like it takes time for your eyes to adjust to what you're actually seeing.

There are notebooks scattered all around There's a nurses' shoe. Then you realise this whole area is actually full of remains of people.

Joseph charles was a security guard at the school. Everyday now he searches for the students he tried to protect.

""They all used to call me Pappi Joe, Pappi Joe. It's really hard," he says

In a locked room he stores the personal possessions he finds like old textbooks nurses shoes even their uniforms.

He has to work quickly however. A government bulldozer is on site removing what's left of the building.

While rescue operations are delicate and precise and time consuming, recovery operations are anything but that.

What's your reaction?
