Haiti Update

Sadly, the news continues to reveal that Haiti is reeling from Hurricane Matthew. Reuters reports that Haitian officials have raised the death toll to 339 as of 7:00 am this morning. The large city of Jeremie reports that 80% of its buildings are down and the Sud Province reports that 30,000 homes have been destroyed.

I wish I had better news for you but I simply don't.

Obviously, the Red Cross and other agencies will be helping the region though much of the area can't be reached via large trucks or other large vehicles needed to get into the region. Certainly fresh water, shelter, food and medicines are desperately needed.
