Many people are still feared trapped under the rubble as heavy rains have hampered rescue efforts.
At least 1,941 people are known to have died in Haiti in Saturday's powerful earthquake - a rise of more than 500 on the previous figure, officials say.
Rescue work has been hampered by heavy rains brought this week by Tropical Storm Grace to the Caribbean nation."Countless Haitian families who have lost everything due to the earthquake are now living literally with their feet in the water due to the flooding," said Bruno Maes, the UN Children's Fund representative in the country.
"Yesterday [Tuesday] evening, I took shelter near a church, but when I heard the ground shake again, I ran to return here," city resident Magalie Cadet was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. Some hospitals were left overwhelmed and in need of supplies, as medics struggled to treat the injured.Error message: If this image does not load your device may not support this visualization
