Haitians Still in Need One Month After Hurricane Matthew

More than a month after Hurricane Matthew, thousands of Haitians are still in desperate need.

USAID briefed Capitol Hill lawmakers in Washington Wednesday.

Workers say more than 141,000 people are still in evacuation shelters in Haiti.

An estimated 900,000 people require immediate food assistance.

To date, USAID says the federal government has provided more than $49 million dollars for victims in Haiti.

Some lawmakers say more money is needed and hope President-elect Trump makes an effort to assist.

So far, the official death toll stands at 546, but that number is expected to grow.
