The Republic of Haiti was hit by 4 storms. These four storms, Fay, Gustav, Hanna all hit Haiti in about one month. The storms were extremely destructive and killed at least 800 people including 520 in a city that was hit the hardest, Gonaives. More than 800 people still remain missing. The houses of thousands of others were completely destroyed and many were left homeless with no where to go. In the port city of Gonaives the situation is the most serious. The entire city is completely paralysed and submerged by two meters of flood water. The storms have also set back the Gross Domestic Product of the country which in turn has effected the economy.
