UN management under fire over silence after storm Sandy
UN delegations sharply criticized the United Nations' management on Monday for an almost "total breakdown in communications" with the world body's 193 member states after superstorm Sandy slammed into the US East Coast a week ago.
The head of UN security, Gregory Starr, said last week that UN headquarters suffered severe damage when Sandy caused heavy flooding in basement levels of the world body's Manhattan complex along the East River. The headquarters remained closed for three days before reopening on Thursday. (AP)
