Kamloops missionary in Haiti says hurricane damage worse than first thought
LES CAYES, HAITI — A Kamloops man who works as a missionary in Haiti says, nearly two weeks after Hurricane Matthew hit the island nation, the devastation is worse than first thought.
Rod Wray says there are villages west of where he lives in Les Cayes, where not a single building was left standing, and people are sleeping under rubble to keep out of the rain.
“It’s really, really bad. There are many people in communities west of us where the whole communities were flattened. There isn’t even one standing house where they can take refuge. They are sleeping out in the rain, virtually.”
