Haiti: Hurricane Season Slams Ministries
Mission News Network reports that Haiti had no time to recover from Hurricane Gustav before Hurricane Hanna struck on Tuesday, again causing massive flooding. Floods and mudslides from the storms have killed more than 100 people. Eva DeHart of For Haiti With Love told MNN that families are desperate for food, even standing outside the ministry's gates during Hanna's fury. Haiti was already enduring a food crisis before the storms hit, and the active hurricane season threatens to worsen the situation, as blocked roads inhibit food distribution. DeHart said, "Gonaives is totally flooded, and areas of Cap Haitien are starting to flood. Nobody is allowed out on the streets. It was food distribution day, but nobody is allowed out on the streets."

Dear friends ,
Now it is Hanna's turn . It is destroying houses and killing people . In Gonaives , my native town , the situation is very very bad . In some areas of that city , water has` reached 4 meters and people are obliged to leave their rooms to reach the roof in spite of the rain .
I do not know if Ike , Josephine and Karina will have to hit Haiti after Hanna .
It has rained all night long last night , and today we have learned mayn stories of inundation in the North East . Fort Liberte is still safe , but the food situation cannot be worst . Please keep praying for us .
Your friend , Andre
