Quake killed British woman, UN confirms

Ann Barnes, 59, originally from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, was killed in the disaster, the Foreign Office said.

It added: "The UN has confirmed to us the body of Ann Barnes has been identified."

United Nations worker Frederick Wooldridge, 41, from Kent, was the

first Briton to be confirmed dead after perishing with dozens of his colleagues.

Relatives feared the United Nations worker was buried with colleagues in the rubble of the UN's headquarters in the Haiti capital of Port-au-Prince.

At the time of the quake she is believed to have been on the second floor of the main building.

Ms Barnes had no children and was not married but had a French partner on the island.

She was a personal assistant to the UN police commissioner and had worked for the UN for more than 20 years.

Another survivor has been pulled from the rubble in Haiti two weeks after the earthquake.

A crowd of looters pulled the man from the wreckage of a store that had been repeatedly raided and called for help from US soldiers, who treated him for a broken leg and dehydration.

Rico Dibrivell, 35, claimed he had been trapped since the earthquake.

Elsewhere concerns are growing for hundreds of thousands of hungry and thirsty children scattered among Port-au-Prince's squatter camps of survivors, without protection against disease or child predators, and often with nobody to care for them.

"There's an estimated one million unaccompanied or orphaned children or children who lost one parent," said Kate Conradt, of aid group Save the Children. "They are extremely vulnerable."
