Rescuers pulled a man alive from the rubble on Saturday 11 days after Haiti's devastating earthquake, raising hopes of finding more survivors even as the government called off search efforts.

A United Nations spokeswoman in Geneva said earlier Saturday that the Haitian government had called off the search and rescue phase at 4:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Friday.

The 63-year-old's body was laid out in front of the city's destroyed Roman Catholic cathedral in an open casket wearing his ceremonial miter,ugg store, with visible injuries to his face. He died when his office adjoining the cathedral collapsed.

Aid workers increased the pace of deliveries to the more than 600,000 people living in squalid conditions beneath tents or in makeshift camps across the devastated capital, mostly with little food or water.

He was saved just hours after the United Nations announced that Haiti's barely-functioning government had declared an end to search-and-rescue efforts so aid workers could focus on getting supplies to survivors.

A US Marine unit had arrived off the coast of Haiti Saturday to bolster its aid contingent in the Caribbean nation, the US military said. A total of 20,000 US military personnel are due to be in Haiti or on ships offshore by Sunday.

Several thousand people also took part in group prayers on the Champ de Mars, near the wrecked presidential palace, led by energetic evangelists.

Normal life was also returning to some parts of the capital, with some shops and street vendors back in business, traffic flowing in some parts of the city and people lining up to wait for private banks to reopen at last.

"All the bad spirits in the presidential palace must disappear!" shouted one preachers. Participants prayed, shouted and waved their hands toward the palace.

But elsewhere some pillaging continued in the main shopping street of Port-au-Prince.

Meanwhile a huge relocation of survivors out of the still-squalid capital continued.

French ambassador Didier le Bret, who was also at the scene, said: "Officially the rescue phase ended yesterday, but because our firemen are determined people they came when they were asked to."

"He was in a pocket in the debris in which he could move a bit and he was also able to find a little water that enabled him to survive."

More than 130,000 people have taken advantage of the government's offer of free transport to other cities where it is setting up new tent camps, the UN said. An unknown number of other people had left the capital by private means.

The miracle tale came as thousands of mourners gathered outside the ruins of the capital's cathedral for the funeral of the archbishop of Port-au-Prince, one of more than 110,000 people killed in the 7.0-magnitude quake.

"The Creator wants us to take part in the creation of a new country, a new Haiti, a new world," Joseph Lafontant, the auxiliary bishop who led the service.

The UN World Food Program said it had distributed two million meals on Friday, up from 1.2 million on Thursday. A total of 150 health facilities were now running across the city,Paul Smith Bags, the World Health Organization said.
