A man has been pulled alive from the rubble in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, two weeks after the earthquake which destroyed the city.
He was rescued from the ruins of a building in the centre of the city, and taken to hospital by US troops.
Officials said it seemed he had become trapped by an aftershock two days after the quake and was severely dehydrated.
The rescue comes 14 days after the 7.0-magnitude quake, which killed as many as 200,000 people.
Haiti has been rattled by at least 50 tremors since the original quake.
The survivor, a man in his early 30s, was pulled from the ruins covered in dust.
"He was buried in the rubble for 12 days. The man had a broken leg and severe dehydration," a statement from the US military said.
