Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A strong aftershock rocked Haiti on Wednesday morning just as much-needed medical aid via a U.S. Navy ship reached the earthquake-ravaged nation.
Patients at a hospital near Haiti's airport in Port-au-Prince immediately started praying as the ground shook like a ship rocking back and forth. They asked for forgiveness and protection, a nurse said.
At least one injury was reported in the moments after the 6.1-magnitude aftershock, which struck at 6:03 a.m. ET. There were no immediate reports of deaths or damage.
The aftershock was the strongest to hit Haiti since January 12's 7.0-magnitude earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey said
