This is very sad.   They don't deserve this.  They are such good people.  Very sad indeed.

Instead of pumping billions back into Haiti which little seemed to make it to the masses that need it, why not go in this time and rebuild for them? Help put up homes that can withstand storms. Nothing can withstand a hurricane like Matthew, but at least homes that can take a beating.

Too much funding got stalled at the top again and the everyday folks there deserve much better. My heart cries for them.
