iciHaiti - 12 January 2010 : United Nations pays tribute to the victims
On Thursday, the United Nations in Haiti paid tribute to the memory of all Haitians, women, men and children, as well as United Nations colleagues, national, international and volunteer personnel who lost their lives in the 2010 earthquake, which left more than 200,000 dead, one million displaced and considerable material damage and destruction.

At a ceremony held at the UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince, Sandra Honoré, Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Haiti and Civilian Head of the Minustah, renewed her condolences to families of the disappeared and expressed her sympathy for all those whose lives continue to be affected by this tragedy "We can not forget this tragic event whose brutality has marked us all. We can not forget those who have left us, and that is why we gather today to remember each one of us, the joys they have given us and the sorrows we have shared, of their love for Haiti."

Sandra Honoré also wanted to highlight the courage of the survivors whose "determination and dedication have enabled Haiti to rise and move forward." While welcoming efforts to strengthen the prevention and risk management policy as well as the adjustment and implementation of construction standards, the Representative of the Secretary-General also paid tribute to the victims of the recent Hurricane Matthew, which hit Haiti last October https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-18818-icihaiti-matthew-government-deploys-its-military-engineering-corps.html
