PORT-AU-PRINCE: A 4.7-magnitude aftershock rocked Haiti on Sunday, but caused no serious damage.
The latest aftershock toppled some buildings which had already been severely damaged.
It also partly exposed some bodies hidden under the rubble of a residence in northern Port-au-Prince. Neighbors dug out the bodies and buried them.
According to the US Geological Survey, the epicenter of the quake lies 30 km west of Port-au-Prince, with a shallow depth of 4.1 km.
Over 100 aftershocks have hit Haiti after the devastating quake on January 12, which has killed more than 110,000 and left 3 million homeless.
