PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Five-year old orphan Angeline was pulled out alive from the concrete rubble where more than 70 other orphans died Saturday.
United Nations forces came with dogs to find the last survivors.
"She was crying. I am here. I am here!" said Anita Leboun, who works at the orphanage Foyer Notre-Dame de la Nativite, in the Fontamara neighbourhood.
Its director, 70-year-old Eveline Midy Louis-Jacques, said the UN blue berets from El Salvador and Sri Lanka told her not to expect more survivors.
A handful were found alive during the week as neighbours came to lend a hand.
Some were seriously injured — a two-year-old boy had his leg amputated from the waist down, Louis-Jacques said.
Another little girl was trapped for two days but emerged in healthy spirits demanding to be fed, she said.
Louis-Jacques took care of 150 children in her home — all of whom she knows by name - before Tuesday's quake.
"It's sad, very sad. They were playing and singing just that morning," she said.
Now 80 kids, many naked and covered with flies, lie in the streets.
"I have no food, no diapers," Louis-Jacques said.
She said aid agencies had yet to visit.
"But we keep hope," she said.
Canadian aid workers from the Hamilton-based Absolute Leadership reported Saturday their orphanage was saved.
Vaden Earle said the place was in good shape and no children were killed.
