United Nations Disaster in Haiti;
The headquarters of the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti has sustained "serious damage" in the 7.3-magnitude earthquake which shook the Caribbean nation and a large number of UN personnel are unaccounted for, according to the UN peacekeeping chief.
Hours after the devastating earthquake, which has flattened much of the capital Port-Au-Prince including the Presidential Palace, the UN officials do not know how many casualties the UN Peacekeeping force in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has suffered.
The UN has 9,000 peacekeepers in the country which include over 7,000 soliders and 2,000 policemen. There are 200 Indians living in Haiti including 60-100 who work for the UN mission.
"We don't have any figures for the time being. But we know clearly it is a tragedy for Haiti, and a tragedy for the UN, and especially for the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti," said Alain Le Roy, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations.
