Damages
to crops and infrastructure in Haiti by Hurricane Matthew have left
hundreds of thousands of people on the impoverished Caribbean island
without food and clean water. The 125 miles-per-hour winds and flooding
from the hurricane's Oct. 4 landfall, which killed at least 546 people
and damaged about 200,000 homes, swept away cattle and knocked out
electricity. Organizations on the ground say cash is more helpful than
donations of clothing and food, which can obstruct coordination of
relief aid, and an indigenous ministry that Christian Aid Mission
assists seeks such funding in order to provide clean water, rice, sugar
and oil. "We are distributing food because people have lost all their
gardens and businesses," the director of the ministry said. "We have
five churches destroyed and 11 churches need repair — some don't have a
roof. Pray for us and pray please for the Haitian people. We're counting
on your prayers and assistance."
