Rebuilding Haiti
On 12 January 2010, a powerful earthquake struck Haiti, leaving the capital Port-au-Prince devastated and killing thousands. Among the victims were 102 members of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the largest single loss of life in the history of UN peacekeeping. Two years later, with the support of the United Nations and international community, Haitians are rebuilding their country and their lives. However, considerable humanitarian needs remain in post-earthquake Haiti.
Every Woman, Every Child
Almost nine million children die each year before they reach their fifth birthday. In that same year, 350,000 women will die from preventable complications related to pregnancy. The United Nations has pushed the issue of child and maternal health to the forefront of the global agenda. Two of the eight Millennium Development Goals focus on dramatically slashing mortality rates for mothers and children. Realizing these goals is critical to the broader target of reducing poverty by 2015.
