A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Saturday, killing just over 300 people, according to the Haitian civil protection service.

At least 1,800 people have been reported injured as the powerful quake turned buildings into rubble.

Rescue teams and bystanders were able to pull many people from the debris.

However, the true scale of the devastation is still being assessed due to difficulties reaching affected areas.
