Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on the 12th of January, the MSF medical teams in Port-au-Prince have been treating very large numbers of people. Well over a thousand patients have been through the four tented facilities that MSF has set up near the damaged buildings that it used to work in. Many come to them with fractures, head injuries and other major trauma from the quake.

The images below have been supplied by Reuters news agency. Please note, some images are very distressing.
