Relief efforts continue in Haiti, and more than a dozen new food distribution points are now operating in the quake zone. After almost three weeks of increasingly unruly confrontations, aid groups on Sunday came up with a new plan to distribute food to women only. U.S. soldiers provided security, checking coupons which had been given out a day earlier, entitling each woman to a bag of rice - enough to feed a family for two weeks. Many of the children in Haiti are sad, lonely, and extremely fearful about their future. But some are getting help from Gertha Francois, a child psychologist who's determined to heal their mental wounds. Ivan Watson reports from Port-au-Prince.
