CARE Offers Sympathy to All Those Devastated by Hurricane Sandy
CARE's international emergency response teams are on the ground in Haiti, where damage caused by Sandy's three days of continuous heavy rains have already left 52 people dead.

In Grand Anse province, according to CARE staff members on the ground, Sandy destroyed and damaged 2,955 homes, decimated half of the cropland and left 14 people dead. In L?og?ne, two villages were destroyed by the flooding caused by the storm, leaving more than 300 families without homes or belongings. In addition, large areas of farmland have been inundated, destroying much needed local crops.
