A man walks past palm trees after Hurricane Matthew hit Jeremie, Haiti. While about half of Haiti's food supply is imported, much of what it does produce is grown in the south. "This is devastating, and it basically could mean that we have a famine in six months," said Yvonne Helle, Haiti's senior country director for the United Nations Development Programme. Helle said preliminary figures indicated 60 to 80 percent of crops in the affected area had been lost to the storm. The path to the farm, located on the side of a rolling hill and accessible only by foot, was littered with cracked coconuts and spoiled mangoes from uprooted trees.
