One guy on that boat said, "Here we go"!
Pretty much the only foreign presence to help the quake victims is in the form of trained rescue teams, like the one Stig mentioned. They are still pulling a few folks out, emphasis on a few. Always want to think that someone can be found, but more thought to finding bodies than the living now. Using sticks to probe in the mud, something like at least 12000 still missing.
At this point it would still be difficult to get around for people who wanted to help, some folks are walking hours and hours to get to rescue centers to look for family members. No other transportation available into many of the locations. I believe the cell phone service is mainly down, trying to get to the places where people have congregated, seems to bring some hope when searching. Some touching reunions being shown, but mostly just further disappointment.
