Hurricane Tomas- Leogane

Today and yesterday our teams went out in groups divided by the different sectors (eg. shelter, water, hygiene,food, rubble, medical etc.) to do assessments of the camps so that we can better assist with the recovery. The Leogane assessment team reported the most damage of property due to the main river flooding the city. When it rains in Leogane it often floods. But this is the worst flooding we have seen since we have been here. The devastation in Leogane is vast as it was not only the epicenter of the earthquake but now one of the epicenters of the flooding. Our good friend Benjamin Depp, who has lived in Haiti for the past 2 years, has photographed the flooding in Leogane...
