UN appeals for 108 million dollars for relief in Haiti
The United Nations appealed on Wednesday for 108 million U.S. dollars to provide humanitarian relief to the victims of a series of tropical storms which struck Haiti in recent weeks.
According to needs assessments, up to 800,000 people, or nearly 10 percent of the country's population, are in dire need of assistance.
A series of tropical storms battered Haiti in the last three weeks, killing at least 328 people, wounding 136 and leaving 37 others missing, according to government figures.
