Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS � The U.N. says 14 U.N. personnel were killed when an earthquake decimated Haiti�s capital and 150 are still unaccounted for, including the mission chief.

U.N. officials say 56 others were injured; seven who were seriously hurt have been evacuated from the country.
U.N. peacekeeping chief Alain Le Roy told a news conference Wednesday that the fatalities include 13 peacekeepers � 10 Brazilians and three Jordanians � and a Haitian civilian working for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in the country.
He stressed that these were only confirmed fatalities and the number of U.N. dead �at the end will be much higher � it�s obvious.�
