About this picture: Haiti Earthquake UN to Haiti
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has described Haiti Earthquake as the "most serious humanitarian crisis" faced by the United Nations in Decades.
"I am going to Haiti with a very heavy heart to express solidarity and full support of the UN to the people of Haiti," the UN secretary-general told journalists accompanying him on the day-long trip to the disaster zone, AFP reported.
"We have to prepare for the worst," Ban added, referring to UN employees who were missing after the disaster that flattened much of the capital Port-au-Prince and nearby towns in western Haiti.
