Various of orphans and Bruni STORYLINE FIRST LADY WELCOMES HAITIAN ORPHANS More than 30 Haitian orphans arrived in the French capital on Friday (22JAN09), with First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy amongst those present to welcome them at the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport. All had been adopted by foreigners prior to the devastating 7.0 scale earthquake that killed an estimated 200-thousand people on January 12. But the quake expedited their departure, according to the French ambassador to Haiti, who said the orphanages that looked after the children had run out of the essential supplies to provide adequate care. The orphans arrived in France on Friday after travelling from Haiti via the Antilles. They were due to meet their adoptive families soon after their arrival, officials said. The Haiti earthquake may have left thousands of children orphaned. Their plight triggered a rush of inquiries from around the world about adopting a child from the impoverished country. Even before the quake, Haiti already had about 380-thousand orphans in need of homes, according to UNICEF. Some of these children lost their parents in previous disasters, including four tropical storms or hurricanes that killed about 800 people in 2008, deadly storms in 2005 and 2004 and massive floods almost every other year since 2000. Others were abandoned amid the nation''s long-running political strife, which led thousands of Haitians to seek asylum in the US - without their children - or by parents who were simply too poor to care for them. In the wake of the quake, experts were quick to warn against taking newly orphaned children out of Haiti or rushing the adoption procedures. UNICEF said it was working to reunite quake orphans with family members and to prevent them from being abused and exploited.
