On Monday afternoon, a storm hit a camp in Coraille, north of Port au Prince, where more than 7 000 people are living, destroying almost one third of the tents. More than 2 300 people lost their only form of shelter as 345 tents were destroyed. For the whole night they, and all their belongings, were totally exposed to the storm.
On Tuesday, a UN agency, the International Organisation for Migration, provided 100 tents to the affected people. After being informed by the UN of the situation, MSF distributed 245 tents.
