Wednesday, January 13, 2010; 10:54 AM

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama promised an all-out rescue and humanitarian effort Wednesday to help Haiti overcome a "cruel and incomprehensible" tragedy, the ruinous earthquake that ravaged the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

The president said the relief effort is gearing up even as the U.S. government works to account for Americans who were on the island nation when the disaster struck late Tuesday afternoon.

Obama also said he has named U.S. Agency for International Development administrator Rajiv Shah to coordinate American efforts, and the president called upon all nations to join in helping stricken Haitians.
