Haiti has had a very active storm season this year which has caused widespread food shortages. Hurricane Sandy and other storms that have come through Haiti have destroyed up to 90% of Haiti's harvest. 70% of households say that they are experiencing moderate to severe hunger.  
The food shortages in Haiti are a indirect result of the storms that went through the country. The food shortages that will affect the country will probably have more of an impact on them than the initial damage of the storm.
