Earthquake-hit Haiti faces a high risk of possibly damaging aftershocks for at least 30 days and is set to suffer further tremors for months or even years to come, the US Geological Survey said Friday.
The capital Port-au-Prince was hit by two fresh aftershocks on Friday, 10 days after the initial 7.0-magnitude quake killed at least 75,000 people and left half a million others homeless.
"The aftershock sequence of the magnitude-7 earthquake that struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on January 12, 2010, will continue for months, if not years," the USGS warned in a bulletin on its website.
"The frequency of events will diminish with time, but damaging earthquakes will remain a threat."
There was only a three percent chance of another 7.0-magnitude quake in the next 30 days but there was a 25 percent chance of at least one 6.0-magnitude tremor and a 90 percent likelihood of at least one 5.0-magnitude quake.
Any aftershock above 5.0-magnitude will be widely felt and "has the potential to cause additional damage, particularly to vulnerable, already damaged structures," the USGS said.
Nearly 50 aftershocks have rocked Haiti since the initial earthquake, the strongest being a 5.9-magnitude tremor on Wednesday.
The strongest of Friday's new shocks was of magnitude 4.4, the USGS said.
The geological fault responsible for the January 12 quake is part of a seismic zone located between the American and Carribbean tectonic plates.Earthquake-hit Haiti faces a high risk of possibly damaging aftershocks for at least... more

The most powerful aftershock yet struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking more rubble from damaged buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets eight days after the country's capital was devastated by an apocalyptic quake.
The magnitude-6.1 temblor was the largest of more than 40 significant aftershocks that have followed the Jan. 12 quake. The extent of additional damage or injuries was not immediately clear.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The most powerful aftershock yet struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking more rubble from damaged buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets eight days after the country's capital was devastated by an apocalyptic quake.
The magnitude-6.1 temblor was the largest of more than 40 significant aftershocks that have followed the Jan. 12 quake. The extent of additional damage or injuries was not immediately clear.
Wails of terror rose from frightened survivors as the earth shuddered at 6:03 a.m. U.S. soldiers and tent city refugees alike raced for open ground, and clouds of dust rose in the capital.
The U.S. Geological Survey said Wednesday's quake was centered about 35 miles (60 kilometers) northwest of Port-au-Prince and 6.2 miles (9.9 kilometers) below the surface — a little further from the capital than last week's epicenter was.
"It kind of felt like standing on a board on top of a ball," said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Steven Payne. The 27-year-old from Jolo, West Virginia was preparing to hand out food to refugees in a tent camp of 25,000 quake victims when the aftershock hit.
Last week's magnitude-7 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million homeless, according to the European Union Commission.
The strong aftershock prompted Anold Fleurigene, 28, to grab his wife and three children and head to the city bus station. His house was destroyed in the first quake and his sister and brother killed.
"I've seen the situation here, and I want to get out," he said.

Following the tragic earthquake in the town of L'Aquila, Italy has been rocked by pretty sizable aftershock, which according to the US Geological Survey measured 5.6 on the Richter scale.
The aftershock caused another two apartment blocks to collapse and could be felt as far away as Rome.
Rescue workers were readying themselves to conduct what one described as a "surgical operation" on one of the buildings in central L'Aquila, where four missing students are believed to still be trapped.
The overall death toll has reportedly risen to 235.Following the tragic earthquake in the town of L'Aquila, Italy has been rocked by... more

New aftershocks toppled 420,000 houses and injured dozens in southwest China on Tuesday, heaping destruction and fear on a region struggling to recover from the country's worst earthquake in decades.
The houses collapsed when a 5.4 magnitude aftershock rocked Sichuan province's Qingchuan county on Tuesday afternoon, injuring 63 people, six critically, Xinhua news agency said.
Another tremor, of 5.7 magnitude, hit neighboring Ningqiang county in Shaanxi province, the agency said, citing the China National Seismological Network. No deaths had been reported.
The aftershocks struck the mountainous region as soldiers worked non-stop to dig a giant sluice to ease pressure on a swelling "quake lake", and the planned evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people to avert a new disaster continued, state media said.
The official death toll from the 7.9 magnitude quake that struck Sichuan province on May 12 was raised on Tuesday to 67,183, but it was certain to rise as 20,790 were listed as missing. The quake injured nearly 362,000 people.
Soldiers and police trekked to the Tangjiashan lake carrying dynamite to blast mud and rubble that has blocked a river and created the largest of 35 quake lakes formed when landslides triggered by the massive tremor blocked streams and rivers.
Some 30,000 people living below the lake in and around Beichuan have been evacuated as a precaution.
In Mianyang, which includes Beichuan town, 150,000 people will have been evacuated by midnight on Tuesday, in line with a contingency plan should the lake's 300 million cubic meters of water burst the barrier, Xinhua reported.New aftershocks toppled 420,000 houses and injured dozens in southwest China on... more

Reports say parts of China have been rattled by a 5.5 magnitude aftershock following the catastrophic earthquake which hit earlier this week.
CNN reports that the aftershock has triggered landslides, blocked roads, knocked out phone lines as well as burying vehicles, all which will hamper the already critically needed aid relief.
The official death toll has been reported by Chinese state media as 22,069 but fears are mounting that this could see a dramatic increase following today's aftershock.
