Haiti Recovering from "Apocalyptic Destruction" After Hurricane Matthew
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Haitian interim President Jocelerme Privert is warning the country faces
a possible famine from what he described as the "apocalyptic
destruction" of Hurricane Matthew. The death toll from the hurricane has
topped 1,000 as the country battles a growing cholera outbreak and
authorities dig mass graves for those killed by the Category 4 storm.
The storm hit a week ago, but many areas have still received no aid.
Food and medicine have run out. We'll have more on Haiti after
headlines.
