A large number of UN staffers are unaccounted for after a huge earthquake caused serious damage to their headquarters in Haiti, a senior UN official said here late Tuesday.
"For the moment, a large number of personnel remain unaccounted for," Alain Leroy, the head of the UN department of peacekeeping operations which oversees the world body's various missions around the world, said in a statement.
He said the headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) in the Haitian capital "has sustained serious damage along with other UN installations."
