I have just found the Turtle Bay January 19 reports of the fate of some of the UN workers in Haiti. The death of Alexandra is noted.

This is from the account of tragic losses suffered by Emily Sanson-Rejouis:

"The relief worker walked out of her office in the U.N. logistics base in Port au Prince only to quickly discover that her husband Emmanuel and three small daughters were trapped beneath the rubble of the collapsed apartment building where they lived. Emily's sister told Turtle Bay that she dug through the building's remains for nearly 20 hours before finding her husband and one of her daughters. Both were dead. She rescued a second daughter, Alyahna, 2, who survived because her father had covered her with his own body. Her third daughter, Kofie-Jade, 5, who was named after the former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, remains inside the rubble."

See the complete accounts. Here.

These are only two of hundreds of thousands but the more grievously felt because I tried to help.
