Representatives from 20 nations, including the United States, are meeting in Montreal today for an emergency summit to coordinate aid for earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is attending the United Nations conference, which aims to hash out a long-term strategy and plan a donors' conference to be possibly held in March.

"We come together to support our friends, the Haitian people, as they seek a new and better future for a country that has already suffered more than we can imagine," said Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon.

This comes after another 4.7 magnitude aftershock rattled the capital of Port-au-Prince, following more than 50 other aftershocks that occurred since the massive earthquake on January 12.

So far, there are no reports of further damage.

The Haitian government is urging the estimated 700,000 who are homeless in the capital of Port-au-Prince to seek shelter with relatives or others in the countryside.

Haitian officials say the government has buried more than 150,000 victims, but that number does not include those still under debris or buried by relatives.
