Haitian man 'alive in rubble for month'

Doctors in decimated Haiti believe a man pulled alive from the rubble may have been trapped since a devastating earthquake in the Caribbean nation four weeks ago, CNN reports.

Evan Muncie was suffering severe dehydration and malnutrition, but was otherwise not seriously injured, say the US medical team treating the 28-year old.

"He was emaciated. He hadn't had anything in quite some time," Dr Mike Connelly of the University of Miami field hospital told CNN.

"He had open wounds that were festering on both feet."

He was found in the wreckage of the market where he sold rice. Rescuers found Mr Muncie while digging out the marketplace.
