Haiti braces for possible strike from Tomas

After facing a devastating earthquake in January and currently battling a cholera outbreak, the people of Haiti are now preparing for a possible hurricane to hit them later this week. According to USA Today, Tropical Storm Tomas could hit Haita this week as a Category 2 hurricane. 

Aid groups are trying to gather supplies in preparation for the hurricane, as most of their resources were already used in the January earthquake, which killed more than 300,000 and left millions without homes.

U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator Nigel Fisher says there are shortages of many essential items, including hygiene kits, radios, and tarps. 

"We need emergency shelter. We need water and sanitation supplies," said Fisher. "And we need as much of it as possible in place before Hurricane Tomas hits."
