TOUCHES DOWN IN
QUAKE-DEVASTATED HAITI
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has arrived in Haiti, which was
struck by a catastrophic earthquake on Tuesday, to show his
solidarity with the people of the impoverished Caribbean nation
and assess for himself the scale of the devastation.
The 7.0 magnitude tremors on 12 January are said to have
affected one third of Haiti's population of 9 million, and the
United Nations estimates that 10 per cent of the buildings in the
hardest-hit city, the capital, Port-au-Prince, have been destroyed,
leaving 300,000 people homeless.
