NPR photographer David Gilkey revisits a few key locations in Haiti one year after a massive earthquake devastated the capital, Port-au-Prince, and left more than 200,000 people dead. Conditions in some locations have improved in the past year; others changed very little.

Editor's Note: Some of these photographs are not suitable for all audiences.

A year after Haiti's damaging earthquake, this collapsed building in downtown Port-au-Prince is gone, one of the few to have been removed.

The collapsed roof a shop near downtown Port-au-Prince has been removed since this Jan. 17, 2010, image, and street vendors and shoppers are using the area.

Very little has changed at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in downtown Port-au-Prince, seen on Jan. 17, 2010, and Jan. 8, 2011.

The central market in downtown Port-au-Prince was destroyed in the earthquake, as seen in this Jan. 14, 2010, photo. By Jan. 8, 2011, some of the rubble had been removed.

Morgue workers walk through piled bodies at the National Hospital's central morgue in downtown Port-au-Prince on Jan. 14, 2010. The hospital is now up and running, and the morgue is back to business as usual.
