Haiti appeared the nation worst hit by Hurricane ‘Matthew’.

The powerful Hurricane ‘Matthew’ struck islands in the Caribbean Sea earlier this week, leaving a string of destruction across Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and the Bahamas.  In Haiti alone, more than 300 people have died from the storm and floods.

Let us generate thoughts of compassion and wish that the people of Haiti be free from further harm, danger, and disease.  May those injured quickly recover; and the fallen ones rest in peace. Sotthi.
