Former US presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush are now in Haiti to meet with the country’s leader Rene Preval.



The two are said to be taking detailed look at the post-quake situation, and are also expected to reassure Haitians that the world has not forgotten them.



The two former American leaders head the Clinton/Bush Haiti fund.



It\'s a relief organisation set up after the January 12 earthquake that killed at least 220,000 people and left 1.3 million homeless.



Presidents Clinton and Bush have been asked by US President Barack Obama to lead high-profile fundraising campaigns and oversee long-term reconstruction and relief efforts in Haiti.
