/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A charity exhibition-selling organized by the
Armenian UN Association under the high auspices of the World Federation
of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) and with the assistance of
the UN Armenia House will take place in the UN Conference Hall on
January 29, 2010. The whole contribution through the WFUNA will be
addressed to the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (UNCERF) which
will be addressed for relief in Haiti.

The 2010 Haiti Earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw
earthquake centered approximately 25 kilometers (16 mi) from
Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, striking at 16:53:09 local time
(21:53:09 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. The earthquake occurred
at a depth of 13 kilometers (8.1 mi). The United States Geological
Survey recorded a series of aftershocks, fourteen of them between
magnitudes 5.0 and 5.9. The International Red Cross estimated that
about three million people were affected by the quake, and Haitian
authorities believe that up to 200,000 could be dead, exceeding
earlier Red Cross estimates of 45,000-50,000 people killed.
