Eighth Anniversary of a massive loses among UN family in Haiti.

Eight years ago today, Haiti suffered a catastrophic loss when a massive earthquake devastated the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

The UN family was also hard hit. The UN headquarters collapsed and 102 of UN peacekeepers perished. We mourn our friends, our family members, our colleagues. They embodied the UN’s global mission and gave their lives in the cause of peace. 

We pay tribute to their sacrifice today and remember them in our thoughts and prayers just as we honor their memory by continuing their work to rebuild Haiti and help its people move forward to a brighter future.
