Photo News: Hurricane Matthew Devastation In Haiti

Hurricane Matthew has transformed Haiti into a disaster zone, yet again. The powerful storm affected 350,000 people. United Nations officials are calling the destruction left in the wake of the country’s worst humanitarian crisis since the devastating earthquake in 2010.

At least 336 people have died since Matthew made landfall in Haiti on Tuesday as a Category 4 hurricane, and that number is expected to rise, according to Haitian officials.

Hurricane Matthew reduced buildings to debris throughout Jeremie, west Haiti.
