The death toll in Haiti continues to rise -- more than 70,000 bodies have been buried in mass graves, and that number will continue to clime.
Mass graves are being used out of necessity, in order to get the bodies off the streets and to prevent the spread of disease.
The total death toll may reach 200,000, authorities say.
