Winds of 230 kilometers per hour and floods caused by rain destroyed about 300 schools, and others are being used as shelters. As a result, at least 100,000 children have been left without school, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund.

According to data from the Haitian Ministry of Health, 20 people have already died of cholera and another 129 have been hospitalized for the same disease. This has been of particular concern to the doctors working on the site, according to the BBC. In fact, the 2010 earthquake triggered a cholera outbreak in Haiti, which claimed nearly 10,000 lives.

The crop has also been affected by Hurricane Matthew, where the soil is damaged. As a result, Haiti is facing a major famine, said Haitian Ambassador Pierre-Andre Dunbar. Haiti was already the fourth country in the global hunger index. This is why the help is “urgent.” The United Nations has also requested $106.5 million in disaster relief assistance.
