The Suffering of Haiti
Hurricane Ike today was bearing down on Haiti as the island is reeling from three previous storms that have left at least 163 people dead and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.
As Haiti braced itself for yet another storm, aid groups have yet to reach thousands left hungry by tropical storm Hanna. More than 10,000 people have left the western port of Gonaives, Haiti’s fourth largest city, on foot, swimming and wading through floodwaters and heading for the next town about 45 miles to the south, Daniel Rouzier, Haiti chairman of Food for the Poor, said.
“The exodus out of Gonaives is massive,” said Daniel Rouzier, Haiti chairman of the group Food for the poor.
