Haiti needs aid urgently

Hurricane Matthew was very destructive in Haiti. But expectedly the media including the International media is focusing more on damage in USA than in Haiti. Around 900 people were killed by the hurricane in Haiti compared to ten in USA.

Haiti has begun three days of national mourning for those killed by Hurricane Matthew, which devastated the south of the country.
At least 900 people are believed to have died. Tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed and some 350,000 people need aid, the government says.
Cholera is a major fear, with several deaths reported, as are food supplies, given the destruction of crops.
