Older people most vulnerable group in Haiti

A UN assessment carried out in Haiti has found that older people are the group most affected by the earthquake.

HelpAge's emergency team is particularly concerned about the vulnerability of older people in nursing homes. We are working with local partners at the Municipal Nursing Home in Port-au-Prince to try and improve conditions there.
