Half of the 200 000 deaths were children, half of the two million displaced were children and still live 380 000 children in tents and under tarps. Two million are without schooling, more than a million, according to UNICEF difficult vulnerable to disease and violence.
From the first moment the disaster was the child that was hardest hit, according to UNICEF Haiti Officer Francois Ackermans.
This is the latest in a series of reports on sexual violence, worsening cholera epidemic, failure of Reconstruction, disappointed aid promises and political paralysis before the earthquake disaster's first anniversary next week.
The reconstruction is stationary. Not even half of the promised aid has been delivered, according to the UN.
Of the 174 million U.S. dollars which the UN sought to combat the cholera epidemic, with now 150 000 victims, has only a quarter offered.
Amnesty reports on how women are subjected to extensive sexual violence.
British Oxfam reports that only 15 percent of promised temporary housing has been built. Perhaps the most telling of all the data is that only five percent of the rubble has been cleared.
This means that Haiti, despite all the sympathy was awakened in the world a year ago, is still a country in ruins.
