Haiti has been holding a day of national mourning exactly one month after the earthquake struck, killing at least 217,000 people. Haiti’s President Rene Preval vowed that his country will live on. Other prayer services were held across the country, including one at the site of a mass grave outside the capital which is believed to hold tens of thousands of victims.
