Port-au-Prince , Haiti ( CNN ) -- French rescue workers pulled a 24-year-old man alive from the rubble of a hotel in Haiti on Saturday , 11 days after an earthquake devastated much of the country . Wismond Jean-Pierre , who had no visible injuries but was severely dehydrated , was immediately loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital for treatment . Lt. Col. Christophe Renou , a rescuer with the French team , called the three-hour effort `` a miracle '' as he was briefly overcome with emotion . Other members of the team -- assisted by American and Greek workers -- were seen weeping with joy following the rescue . `` This is God , '' Frank Louvier , the chief of the French rescue team , said as he pointed to the sky . Full coverage | Twitter updates . The man 's brothers said they reported hearing tapping from within the ruins of the Hotel Napoli Inn for several days but struggled to get authorities to the scene . A Greek journalist said he alerted Greek rescue workers after hearing the tapping for himself . Jean-Pierre was a clerk at a store in the hotel . After the building collapsed , he searched in the dark and found some soda that sustained him , his brother said . His rescuers told CNN 's Christiane Amanpour that cookies and beer were also found in the pocket after Jean-Pierre was rescued . In video shot by French Civil Protection , Jean-Pierre is seen wriggling out of an opening in the rubble no wider than his shoulders , a big smile on his face as he sees his rescuers for the first time . Renou said Jean-Pierre was found in a pocket in the rubble and was able to move all of his extremities . A doctor who examined him said Jean-Pierre was protected by a desk . Renou said Jean-Pierre did not say much when he was pulled out but indicated that there were three or four people around him when the building collapsed . However , Jean-Pierre told rescuers he had not heard any sounds around him for a couple of days . Workers were going into the rubble with radar equipment to check for any other possible survivors . The emotional rescue came a day after the Haitian government said that more than 111,000 people died in last week 's earthquake . It is the worst death toll from an earthquake since the 2004 Asian tsunami and the second-highest death toll from an earthquake in more than three decades , according to the U.S. Geological Survey . Meanwhile Saturday , much of Haiti was mourning as rescue operations turned into recovery missions and the country 's president attended the funeral of an archbishop who was one of the victims . A Mexican rescue team pulled the body of 63-year-old Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot from ruins near the national cathedral , which he oversaw as archbishop of Port-au-Prince . The cathedral was destroyed . Read more about the funeral . At the funeral , President Rene Preval was asked to respond to criticism that he has not shown strong public leadership and been largely unseen in the aftermath . `` This is not about politics today , '' he said . Friday night 's star-studded `` Hope for Haiti '' telethon raised a record-breaking $ 58 million , with more donations continuing to pour in from around the world , the benefit 's organizers announced Saturday . Additionally , the `` Hope for Haiti Now '' album , a compilation of the night 's musical performances made available on Apple 's iTunes , was the No . 1 album in 18 countries Saturday .

Before the search-and-rescue effort ended Friday afternoon , the U.N. office said , rescuers had managed to pull more than 130 people alive from the rubble . `` Rescue teams continue to work in Port-au-Prince . We continue to hope that they will be able to find people still alive , but as time passes , we must gradually shift our resources from rescue to recovery , '' Nick Birnback , spokesman for U.N. peacekeeping operations , said Saturday . Some families of Americans who were staying at the collapsed Hotel Montana started an online petition Saturday in an effort to continue search efforts there `` until all the survivors are accounted for . '' As of Saturday night , the petition had generated nearly 1,400 signatures and 3,600 messages to U.S. government officials , according to Sue Keller , a friend of a family whose relative is among the missing . Keller said the families hope to have at least 5,000 signatures by Monday . Meanwhile , 120 to 140 flights a day are regularly arriving at the single-runway Port-au-Prince airport , compared with 25 the day after the quake struck January 12 , the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said . To relieve congestion at the airport , humanitarian cargo is being moved to a forward dispatch area at one end of the runway . The Las Americas airport in Santo Domingo , in the neighboring Dominican Republic , is starting to report congestion as it becomes increasingly useful as an alternative airport , the U.N. office said . It will now be open overnight to accommodate the extra traffic . The U.S. military has obtained landing rights at the Dominican Republic 's air base at San Isidro , about 135 miles ( 220 kilometers ) east of Port-au-Prince . Port-au-Prince 's main port is now working at 30 percent capacity , which should increase in the coming days , the U.N. agency said . The port is handling only humanitarian cargo and is still closed to commercial traffic . See where aid is available . Haiti is negotiating with the Dominican Republic to use the port at Barahona , about midway between the two countries ' capitals , for more humanitarian deliveries . Those managing the land transport of supplies will need fuel , and the U.N. agency said there is enough in Haiti to last an additional 18 to 19 days . But it expects no shortage of fuel because supplies of fuel will be able to enter the port during that time . iReport : List of missing , found | Are you there ? One concern with cross-border traffic is the unauthorized departure of Haitian children . Charities and aid groups have said in recent days that they are concerned about the danger of child trafficking after the earthquake . Groups including Save the Children and World Vision have called for a halt to adoptions , saying many children may appear to be orphaned but in fact have simply been separated from their families . `` If children must be evacuated from Haiti because their protection needs can not be met in country , the evacuation must be carefully documented , the children must be registered with the proper authorities , and all efforts must be made to reunify them with family before any adoption proceedings are considered , '' the U.S.-based Women 's Refugee Commission said . The number of unaccompanied children needing support is greater than the capacity to respond , the U.N. office said . Authorities are working with unaccompanied children who are being released from hospitals , it said . There are now 47 hospitals , 11 mobile clinics and two floating hospitals -- from the United States and Mexico -- in and around Port-au-Prince . One of those floating hospitals is the USNS Comfort , a U.S. Navy ship just off the Haitian coast . Capt . James Ware , the commanding officer , oversees a team of 80 doctors , including 24 surgeons and 140 nurses . Ware said Friday that the hospital had received about 240 patients over 36 hours . In the next few days , he said , he expected the ship to treat about 150 patients a day . About 609,000 people have also been left homeless in and around the capital of Port-au-Prince , the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said . CNN 's Hala Gorani , Lisa Desjardins and Edvige Jean-Francois contributed to this report .
