Hurricane Matthew in Haiti.

BBC news reported on the deaths and damages of the hurricane in Haiti. At least 900 people died and at least 350,000 people need aid along with tens and thousands of homes being destroyed. The hurricane caused major flooding, power cuts and destroyed buildings. The strong winds reached up to 145 mph which caused buildings to collapse. Haiti has gone into 3 days of national mourning and has requested aid for the people who have been left with nothing. Because of the strong hurricane (category 4) sewers and pipes where damaged and the main worry now is Cholera. At least 13 people have died form the disease since the hurricane. The hurricane moved up to the southern coast of the US which reportedly killed 10 people.

This is an important news story because not only has Haiti have to worry about the damages and the deaths caused by the hurricane, but they have to worry about the after effects including Cholera which killed 10,000 after the 2010 earthquake. Also allot of crops were damaged meaning that Haiti is left with not allot of food to last them and they are without water, which is another major concern.
