Today’s Video: Haiti’s continued suffering

Normally I say the following in a facetious tone but this time I’m serious – some stories speak for themselves:
The poorest nation in the Americas is hit by hurricanes and (a) food crisis.

Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, is still recovering from four tropical storms and hurricanes that killed more than 800 people and destroyed 60 percent of its crops in August and September.

    A colleague of mine noted to me that some (cynical) Haitians believe that the country may choose to change it's official name to "Haiti, the Poorest Country in the Western Hemisphere" since that clause almost always precedes its proper name in popular mention.
