One year on, Haiti is still struggling with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of 12 January 2010, a disaster that had a profound impact on children. UNICEF has ensured that thousands of children living in the camps are provided with safe water and child-friendly spaces, making sure they have access to vaccinations and health services. But the earthquake was not the only unprecedented emergency Haiti suffered in the last year. Combined with hurricane flooding and a political crisis, cholera in particular has presented a massive challenge. UNICEF has played a key role in the rapid response to the outbreak by mobilising staff, resources and life-saving supplies and focusing on those children most at risk.
