The fury of Hurricane Matthew caused immense devastation around Haiti, leveling entire villages and killing at least 1,000 people.

Up to 90% of the southernmost areas of the country have been completely destroyed or badly damaged, and an outbreak of cholera is now threatening the lives of survivors.

The Red Cross has launched an appeal for relief funds, to help provide food, drinking water, and shelter for up to 50,000 people.
