​
The death toll in Haiti as a result of Hurricane Matthew - the most powerful Caribbean storm in a decade - is reaching close to 900 officials say.
​
Some 50 people were reported killed in the town of Roche-a-Bateau alone.
The nearby city of Jeremie saw 80% of its buildings levelled. In Sud province 30,000 homes were destroyed.
Category Three Matthew, with sustained winds of 120mph (193km/h), is battering the coastline of the US state of Florida but has not yet made landfall.
It remains unclear whether it will do so.
​
Due to the amount of devastation, loss of life and loss of property, emergency medical attention and clean-up is URGENT for the land and for the people of Haiti.
​
The World Food Programme's country director in Haiti, Carlos Veloso, has warned that it could take up to four or five days to get a clearer picture of the impact and death toll.
​
Haiti will be impacted for a long time due to Hurricane Matthew. Mosquito-borne and waterborne illnesses, including cholera, will pose a major threat in the weeks and months ahead. Your donations will be essential in combatting these illnesses in rural communities. Your support will help Haiti recover from this storm and continue to empower Haitians to build a better tomorrow.
​
We have a team already on the ground in Haiti ready to support upon arrival of the flight. Ideal date would be as soon as October 12, 2016, to begin rebuilding affected areas of the Island.
