Hurricane Season Torments Haiti


"In the Always Funeral Home, 21 mud-crusted bodies were piled in a small room, unclaimed. Two of them were pregnant, one still clutching a small girl to her chest."

Tormented by one storm after another, Haiti has suffered the highest loss of life. By time any of the Tropical Storms or Hurricanes have made landfall on the U.S., they have already done their most destructive damage... to those areas least able to respond and cope with the loss of life, and the overwhelming disease and sickness that accompany the flood waters.



Bridges and roads were destroyed providing no access for relief workers into Gonaives, Haiti's second largest city located on the western side of the country, leaving them stranded... hopeless.


Pray for our brothers and sisters in Haiti, for survivors, for relief workers to gain access.

Here are some numbers from this season:

Fay: 9 dead
Gustav: 79 dead
Hanna: 183 dead
Ike: 70 dead
