One week after hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the eastern seaboard of the United States, there's been very little attention given to Haiti, one of the world's poorest countries, which was also battered by the hurricane.

Floods and landslides killed at least 54 people while 70% of crops were destroyed, placing an estimated 1.5 million Haitians at risk of hunger.
