This image shows the Presidential palace - the centre of political power in Haiti and symbol of the nation - devastated by the horrifying tremblor.
Along with the buildings and the lives of those lost and injured, the rule of law is also crumbling rapidly as violence and chaos threaten to cascade into further destruction.
Looting, mob justice and summary executions have already commenced. The security forces are dysfunctional as is the entire state apparatus.
Delays in international aid will further endanger public security and law and order.
