UNICEF: Reaching Haiti's young survivors with health and nutrition

JACMEL, Haiti, 27 January 2010 In parts of Haiti devastated by the earthquake that struck on 12 January including the capital, Port-au-Prince, as well as the southern port city of Jacmel and other localities UNICEF is reaching children with life-saving support.
In many ways, this is a childrens emergency. Nearly 40 per cent of all Haitians are under 14 years of age, and children are at the greatest risk in the quake's aftermath. UNICEF and its partners are paying specific attention to the youngest and most vulnerable children, thousands of whom are living in displacement settlements, orphanages and care centres.
Next week, UNICEF will help launch an urgent immunization campaign for 600,000 displaced children under the age of five, who will be vaccinated against measles, diphtheria and tetanus. To ward off any increases in acute malnutrition, children under five will also need therapeutic and supplementary feeding, as well as general food rations.
