Hurricane Matthew was the most powerful storm to hit Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, in more than 50 years.

Packing sustained winds of up to 145mph, it flattened houses, destroyed bridges, and delayed a presidential election.

Flooding and displacement from Hurricane Matthew only deepen Haiti’s ongoing health and humanitarian crisis.
