MaximsNewsNetwork: 14 January 2010 - UN MINUSTAH: Port-au-Prince, Haiti - Nearly all government buildings in Port au Prince have been destroyed including the Presidential Palace, the main parliament building, prisons, schools and hospitals

Scenes of destruction today framed the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, as aftershocks continued.

Almost all of Haiti's public buildings and utilities have been destroyed. Among the public buildings that collapsed were the National Palace (Head of the Government), the main parliament building, the DGI Building (tax headquarters), the National Court, and Ministry of Finance building.

Communications were cut off, roads were blocked by rubble and trees, electric power was interrupted and water was in short supply.

United Nations agencies are working around the clock to provide urgently needed assistance to the victims of the devastating earthquake, which is estimated to have affected one third of the Caribbean nations nine million people, a population that was already one of the most vulnerable in the world. ................................................................................­....
