主题：海地地震中遇难的维和人员无中国人？？ -- 唐吉氏

The UN mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) was hit particularly hard, with its main headquarters building in Port-au-Prince flattened and dozens of staff missing, including its civilian head, Hedi Annabi of Tunisia, and his deputy.

Haitian President Rene Preval insisted that Annabi, who was in the building along with dozens of his staff when the quake struck Tuesday, was killed.

But like other UN officials, UN chief Ban Ki-moon said he could not confirm Preval's claim.

The respected Tunisian official, who served as deputy head of UN peacekeeping operations from 1997 to 2007, was having talks with a visiting Chinese delegation in the five-story concrete building known as the Christopher Hotel, UN chief Ban Ki-moon said.

Citing preliminary figures, Ban said late Wednesday that a total of 16 UN personnel were confirmed dead in the Haitian capital: three police officers from Jordan, one from Argentina, one from Chad and 11 Brazilian peacekeepers.

Eight Chinese members of the peacekeeping mission were also buried in building collapses, according to China's State Council. It did not say whether they were believed to be alive or dead.

Susana Malcorra, head of the UN department of Field Support, earlier put the total number of UN personnel still unaccounted "in the range of 150."
