Haiti Earthquake 2010ONE YEAR LATER THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS!
One year on, children in Haiti are still reeling from the lingering impact of the 12 January 2010 earthquake, which remains the single largest catastrophe to hit the country in centuries. More than 220,000 lives were lost and countless families were fractured with 750,000 children directly affected. While many are concerned that 2011 will begin as it began in 2010, with displacement, sickness and mourning as another crisis looms; UNICEF is working hard, thanks to the support of our donors, to make sure that Haiti’s children will never have to bear a harder year. Nutrition, education and protection remain UNICEF’s priorities and are the key to the transformation of the nation and of children’s lives. Facilitating durable solutions for the return of displaced people – the majority of whom were among the poorest of the poor before the earthquake – is also key. Protecting children and families against the impact of cholera remains a full organisation-wide priority. Since UNICEF will remain a partner in Haiti for the long run, we are committed to helping strengthen and expand systems and services that protect the rights and well-being of children in the long term. With sustained support and a collective vision, we can ensure that children born today not only survive, but thrive in a Haiti fit for children. Thank you for investing in a brighter future for Haiti's children! ..............................................................................................Talking with children about disasters
