AT A LOSS: Filiane Lander, 39, right, and Suzette Benjamin, 50, cover their noses as they watch the body of one of their friends being burned where she was killed by falling debris. "I was sitting right there," Lander said, "when it happened. We don't know what to do now. No one has told us. Not only do we not have money to buy food to sell, but we don't even have a place to sit." Many women like them sit on the sidewalks selling goods. Debris had fallen from the building above, killing their friend. Locals set the corpse on fire to try to eliminate the stench, which had become too strong after four days during which no city workers had come to pick up the body.
