The number of deaths from last month's earthquake in Haiti has exceeded 200,000, the prime minister says.
Another 300,000 people have been treated for injuries, 250,000 homes destroyed and 30,000 businesses lost, Jean-Max Bellerive said on Wednesday.
The latest figures, revised up from the government's previous figure of 150,000 dead, come as the UN named Bill Clinton, the former US president, to lead the co-ordination of international relief efforts more than three weeks after the Caribbean nation was devastated by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
Martin Nesirky, a Clinton spokesman, told a press briefing that Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, wanted Clinton "to assume a leadership role in coordinating international aid efforts from emergency response to the reconstruction of Haiti".
Haitians protest
Before the long-term rebuilding can even begin, however, angry protests have flared across the Haitian capital over complaints that aid delivery remains sluggish despite the massive operation in the past three weeks.
"The Haitian government has done nothing for us, it has not given us any work. It has not given us the food we need," Sandrac Baptiste said bitterly as she left her makeshift tent to join angry demonstrations on Wednesday.
In separate protests after a tense night when shots were fired in the capital Port-au-Prince, some 300 people gathered outside the mayor's office in the Petionville neighborhood.
Another 200 protesters marched towards the US embassy, crying out for food and aid, and about 50 protestors gathered late on Tuesday outside the police headquarters where the Haitian government is temporarily installed.
