PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - By boat or by bus, by bicycle and on foot along clogged and broken roads, earthquake survivors streamed away from this city and its landscape of desolation Friday and into Haiti's hinterlands and the unknown.

The government and international agencies urgently searched for sites to build tent cities on Port-au-Prince's outskirts to shelter hundreds of thousands of the homeless staying behind before springtime's onslaught of floods and hurricanes.

"We need to get people out of the sun and elements," United Nations spokesman Nicholas Reader said as teams worked to deliver food, water and medical aid to the population, estimated at 1 million, sprawled over some 600 settlements around the rubble-strewn capital and in the quake zone beyond.

Into this bleak picture Friday came unexpected word of rescues: An elderly woman, in bad condition, was said to have been pulled from ruins 10 days after the killer quake. But doctors saw little hope of saving her life.

Also an Israeli search team pulled a 21-year-man from the rubble. Video obtained by The Associated Press shows rescue workers pulling the man from a crevasse in the wreckage of what had been a two-story home. The Israeli Defense Force said the man was in stable condition at an Israeli field hospital in Port-au-Prince.

The 7.0-magnitude quake struck Jan. 12 and killed an estimated 200,000 people, according to Haitian government figures cited by the European Commission. Countless dead remained buried in thousands of collapsed and toppled buildings in Port-au-Prince, a city of slums that drew migrants from an even more destitute countryside.

Now that movement has abruptly reversed, as quake victims, with meager belongings, jam small buses and battered automobiles, take to bicycles or just walk to outlying towns and rural areas, to relatives or whatever shelter they can find.

They jammed a simple Port-au-Prince wharf as well, in hopes of a spot aboard an outbound skiff sailing up the coast.

As many as 200,000 have fled the city of 2 million, the U.S. Agency for International Development reported, citing a Haitian survey of bus stations and of sources in destination towns. At St. Marc, 40 miles to the north, most arrived with injuries from the quake, the U.S. agency said.

Huddled with cousins in that seaside town, Port-au-Prince refugee Daniel Dukenson, 28, said his nephew and sister, pulled from the family's fallen house after the quake, were recuperating. "I'd like to go back," the computer teacher said. "But it's going to take a lot of time for Port-au-Prince to get back on its feet. Two years maybe."

The end of the road didn't always offer relief, however. At least 100,000 people may have fled farther north, to Gonaives, a city of 280,000 devastated by back-to-back hurricanes in 2008.

"We are working with authorities to discourage people from going to Gonaives," said Myrta Kaulard, country director of the UN World Food Program. "It is a very dangerous town and it is still partially destroyed from the hurricanes."
