Haitian tent city hit by storm

Heavy rainfall and sudden hurricane force winds wreaked havoc on a Haitian tent camp for people whose homes were destroyed by the January earthquake.

The massive camp in Croix-Des-Bouqets, which is run by the United Nations, houses several thousand displaced Haitians.

Richard Pool, the camp's manager said: "It wasn't like a typical hurricane, you couldn't track it. It didn't take a period of days, it came just like that, and it was over in about 15 minutes. It caused havoc, it destroyed the school, it destroyed tents."

It is another set back to people who's lives have been ruined by the quake. Venise Azor, a resident of the camp, said: "The hurricane came while I was inside the tent. I was lucky I was the only person living there with the baby. All I really want is to find a real home to move into with the child."

Janet Simeon, another camp resident, said that she feared criminals would be able to enter her exposed tent, which was partially destroyed by the winds.

"Here I have pregnant women in my tent. I have children, and now my tent has been destroyed. They refused to give me another tent. That's mean. Gangsters can easily enter the tent because it cannot be closed," Simeon said.
