In Haiti, which was still recovering from the effects of the 2010 earthquake, at least 104 people have died, and an estimated 200,000 were left homeless as of October 29, as a result of four days of ongoing rain from Hurricane Sandy. Reports of significant damage to Port-Salut were received as rivers overflowed their banks. In the nation's capital, Port-au-Prince, whole streets were flooded by the heavy rains and "the whole south of the country is underwater". Most of the tents and buildings in the city's sprawling refugee camps and the Cité Soleil neighborhood were flooded or leaking, a repeat of what happened earlier in the year during the passage of Hurricane Isaac. The United Nations warned that flooding and unsanitary conditions may reignite the ongoing cholera epidemic which begins shortly after the quake. So far, 700,000 people have fallen ill and killed more nearly 8,000 within Haiti and neighboring Dominican Republic. The storm also led to severe crop losses, seriously challenging food security on an already food insecure island nation, making the poor and those without access to food that much more susceptible to lingering effects, the country would be making an appeal for emergency aid. A United Nations official said the storm left as many as 1 million people in Haiti facing food shortages.
