UN: Haiti faces 2013 food shortage after Hurricane Sandy
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-20320487
Hurricane Sandy destroyed several areas of the capital, Port au Prince
The UN in Haiti says 1.5 million people remain at risk of not having proper access to food in 2013 due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy and other natural disasters.
The situation has been made worse by a drought earlier this year, it says.
At least 54 people died as Hurricane Sandy hit the impoverished Caribbean nation two weeks ago.
The country is still struggling to recover from a devastating earthquake in January 2010.
