(ANS – Port-Au-Prince) – In spite of the difficulties in communicating with Haiti we have heard that among the victims of the earthquake which struck the Caribbean island of Haiti yesterday there is the Salesian Brother Hubert Sanon 85 years of age.

At present among those missing is a Salesian priest aged 38, Fr Harold Bernard, buried under the ruins; there is  no further news of him. The two Salesians were at work when at 16.53 local time, a few kilometres from Port-au-Prince there was a scale 7 earthquake.

As yet there is no news whether or not among the victims there are youngsters or other Salesians from “Saint John Bosco” in Port-au-Prince-Enam, where Br. Sanon and Fr Bernard were living. Here the Salesians have a primary school, a technical school and also a reception centre for youngsters in difficulty and an oratory.

At Port-au-Prince there has also been damage to the house in Carrefour-Thorland. The Daughters of Mary Help of Christians have suffered damage to their works in Port-au-Prince and at “Sanit Mary D. Mazzarello” in Pétion-Ville. At present there is also a Daughter of Mary Help of Christians in hospital.
