UN chief pays second visit to Haiti

UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has paid his second visit to Haiti since January's devastating earthquake.

During the one-day trip, Ban Ki-moon met with Haitian President, Rene Preval, and leaders of the UN peacekeeping force in Port-au-Prince.

The UN has launched an appeal to raise 1.4 billion US dollars to provide relief and fund Haiti's recovery and reconstruction work.

A high-level donors' conference for Haiti will be held in New York at the end of this month.
