Hurricane Matthew: Haiti: In the eye of the hurricane

The residents of this country – a place where the perfect storm of adverse meteorological phenomena, hunger, poverty and earthquakes, has brewed – must grieve for the more than 800 people who died as the hurricane ripped through the island, while swallowing the fear of the hunger to come in the next few weeks.

“Our greatest fear is that the loss of crops and the possible spread of cholera and other diseases will cause more deaths than the actual hurricane over the next days and weeks,” said Damien Berrendorf, Oxfam’s director in Haiti.
In addition to its five delegates in Haiti, the Spanish Red Cross also sent two emergency experts to coordinate the delivery of water-purifying tanks from the Dominican Republic.
