Hurricane Sandy has swept through Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti. Government officials in Haiti are still assessing the damages caused by Sandy. The Hurricane comes on the heels of Tropical Storm Isaac, which killed 24 Haitians and forced many to abandon their homes temporarily.
It was reported that Sandy caused landslides, flooded hospitals and homes, and tore down a bridge and a cholera treatment center. Flooding has caused the evacuation of more than 1,000 people still living in post-earthquake settlements. Additionally, some roads have been blocked off leaving several communities isolated.
The extent of the damage does not appear to be as great as Tropical Storm Isaac. However, nine people have died, and there could be reports of more deaths over the next few days.
