Resumen: This report from Unicef focuses on the 750,000 children directly affected by the earthquake. Facilities in Haitis crowded camps are insufficient for children to access critical services such as health, education and protection, says the report. However, new crises, such as the cholera outbreak, should not overshadow the results achieved for children, says the report, which highlights successes in programmes such as child immunisation and malnutrition. Renewing its commitment to build a "Haiti fit for children", Unicef recognises the fragility of the situation of children in Haiti and adds that "the bottlenecks making displacement a protracted crisis today are rooted in the disparities and poverty of pre-earthquake Haiti".
