Up to 10,000 US troops will be on the ground or off the coast of Haiti by Monday to help deal with the earthquake aid effort, US defence officials say.
Tuesday's earthquake has left as many as 50,000-100,000 people dead.
Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said more than 15,000 bodies had already been recovered and buried, French news agency AFP reported.
This is a strong and substantial response by the US. How do you feel about the deployement of another 10,000 US troops in a foriegn country?
