United Nations, New York, 16 February 2010 - A month after the magnitude 7 earthquake devastated large part of the country, Haitians have entered a symbolic 3 days of reflection. 3 days originally set aside for the annual carnival they now reflect on the 210,000 lives lost, the 300,000 injured and the 1.2 million displaced. They reflect on the destruction of their homes, their towns and their capital city. But a massive aid effort is underway to assist Haitis devastated population. Despite losing its own office and storage facilities in the quake, UNICEF was quick to respond and has been hard at work, along with NGO partners and government to provide support wherever possible.
