There was quite a bit of rain in Haiti from the storm Hannah. It has washed out the pipeline for drinking water in two places. This river is normally small enough to walk across without getting your knees wet. Please be praying for everyone there and that they will be able to get the pipes back in soon.
here is an email I received from Rob and Anne-Marie. It was in dutch originally so please excuse the google translation. Annelies and I are in Netherlands so please do not worry about us.
Dear all,
We are in a disaster area alone we notice the impact is not well.
Both waterleidingensystemenare at different places riped out.
We have no water, no electricity and 2 storms still to go.
The road to the Catholic church is gone. The gabions (nets with stones)
have been moved and there can be no more car door.
At the cemetery (direction lesson Fund) is also on the road and there can be no car
more. We are therefore in an isolated area.
The whole area has no water. People are advised to rainwater to
catch.
I hear now the church of the cath. church. I think they have a meeting
have.
The consequences are worse than with Hurricane Jeanne!
Attached photographs of the river, the men in a kokosnootboom (were
surprised by the water and fled into the tree) and the radio antenna in
our house has been moved by the wind.
We keep you up to date.
Rob & Anne-Marie
