Haiti farmers lose all crops to Matthew

(13 Oct 2016) Large amounts of crops and fields in western Haiti have been destroyed by Hurricane Matthew, according to local authorities. Farmers said on Wednesday they had lost crops of rice, banana, mango, beans and advocado. Many locals are worried about the future, since they do not have enough resources to survive in the coming months. Along with widespread hunger and the loss of crops, livestock, fishing boats and gear, authorities warn that cholera appears to be rising, making delivery of water purification supplies a high priority as officials consider how to help the region over the longer term.
