A total of 133 people are known to have been saved from the wreckage following the January 12 quake, in which more than 112,000 people were killed. Here are some notable cases:
-- Jan 15: An 18-month-old girl is rescued by Australian television crews from near the bodies of her parents. "She did not cry. She looked astonished, almost as if she was seeing the world for the first time," a reporter for the Nine network said.
-- Jan 17: A girl aged seven, a man of 34 and a woman aged 50 are pulled from the ruins of a supermarket in Port-au-Prince by US and Turkish rescuers. Maria, Lamy and Arielle, all with minor injuries, were able to survive thanks to food stuck beneath the rubble with them.
