On 12 January 2010, an earthquake struck Haiti and killed over 200,000 people, injured more than 300,000 and displaced 2.3 million – nearly one quarter of the country’s population. At the height of the crisis, the UN system – 18 agencies, funds and programmes and the peacekeeping operation, MINUSTAH – led international efforts to help shelter, feed, provide clean drinking water, sanitation and medical assistance to more than 1.5 million displaced Haitians. Two years later, the UN continues to provide wide-scale humanitarian assistance to vulnerable people, including the displaced, children, pregnant and lactating women, orphans, the elderly and persons suffering from HIV/AIDS.
