| dbo:abstract | Hurricane Matthew struck southwestern Haiti near Les Anglais on October 4, 2016, leaving widespread damage in the impoverished nation. Matthew was a late-season Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale, having formed in the southeastern Caribbean on September 28. The hurricane weakened to Category 4 before making landfall near Les Anglais on October 4, at which time the National Hurricane Center estimated maximum sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph). This made it the strongest storm to hit the nation since Hurricane Cleo in 1964, and the third strongest Haitian landfall on record. Hurricane-force winds – 119 km/h (74 mph) or greater – affected about 1.125 million people in the country. The Haitian government assessed the death toll at 546, although other sources reported more than three times that figure. During Matthew's passage, high winds, heavy rainfall, and deadly tides lashed the Tiburon Peninsula in southwest Haiti. Nationwide, the hurricane nearly or completely destroyed around 200,000 homes, leaving 1.4 million people in need of humanitarian aid. Monetary damage was estimated at US$2.8 billion. Nearly complete crop damage occurred in Grand'Anse and Sud departments, leaving the impoverished population without a source of food. Communication networks and the road system were also compromised. After the hurricane washed away the Petit-Goâve Bridge, southwestern Haiti was temporarily unreachable from the remainder of the country, which slowed the distribution of emergency aid. The ongoing cholera outbreak worsened after the hurricane, killing at least 29 people. With insufficient resources to respond to the hurricane damage, the Haitian government requested assistance from other countries. The United Nations launched an emergency appeal for nearly US$120 million in aid, and countries throughout the world provided money, supplies, and logistical support. Before and after the hurricane's landfall, UN agencies provided food, materials, and a peacekeeping force to residents, which was supplemented by various non-government organizations.

Matthew est un ouragan intense de la fin de la saison 2016. Il s'est formé dans le sud-est des Caraïbes le 28 septembre et y a atteint la catégorie maximale 5 de l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson avant de faiblir à la catégorie 4 et frapper Haïti alors que le National Hurricane Center estimait alors ses vents soutenus à 240 km/h. Cela en a fait la plus forte tempête à frapper le pays depuis l'ouragan Cleo en 1964, et la troisième plus forte frappe haïtienne jamais enregistrée. Les vents de force ouragan – 119 km/h ou plus – ont affecté environ 1,125 million de personnes dans le pays. Le gouvernement haïtien a évalué le nombre de morts à 546, bien que d'autres sources aient rapporté plus de trois fois ce chiffre. Pendant le passage de Matthew, des vents violents, de fortes pluies et des marées meurtrières ont frappé la péninsule de Tiburon dans le sud-ouest d'Haïti. Dans tout le pays, l'ouragan a presque ou complètement détruit environ 200 000 maisons, laissant 1,4 million sinistrés. Les dommages monétaires ont été estimés à 2,8 milliards US.Lapertepresquetotaledesreˊcoltess′estproduitedanslesdeˊpartementsdelaGrand′AnseetduSud,laissantlapopulationappauvriesanssourcedenourriture.Lesreˊseauxdecommunicationetlesysteˋmeroutieronteˊgalementeˊteˊcompromis.L′ouraganaemporteˊlepontdePetit−Goa^ve,coupanttemporairementlesud−ouestd′Haı¨tidurestedupayscequiaralentiladistributiondel′aided′urgence.L′eˊpideˊmiedecholeˊraenHaı¨tifutaggraveˊeapreˋsl′ouragan,tuantaumoins29personnes.Avecdesressourcesinsuffisantespourreˊpondreauxdommagescauseˊsparl′ouragan,legouvernementhaı¨tienademandeˊl′aided′autrespays.LesNationsUniesontlanceˊunappeld′urgencedepreˋsde120millionsUS. La perte presque totale des récoltes s'est produite dans les départements de la Grand'Anse et du Sud, laissant la population appauvrie sans source de nourriture. Les réseaux de communication et le système routier ont également été compromis. L'ouragan a emporté le pont de Petit-Goâve, coupant temporairement le sud-ouest d'Haïti du reste du pays ce qui a ralenti la distribution de l'aide d'urgence. L'épidémie de choléra en Haïti fut aggravée après l'ouragan, tuant au moins 29 personnes. Avec des ressources insuffisantes pour répondre aux dommages causés par l'ouragan, le gouvernement haïtien a demandé l'aide d'autres pays. Les Nations Unies ont lancé un appel d'urgence de près de 120 millions US.Lapertepresquetotaledesreˊcoltess′estproduitedanslesdeˊpartementsdelaGrand′AnseetduSud,laissantlapopulationappauvriesanssourcedenourriture.Lesreˊseauxdecommunicationetlesysteˋmeroutieronteˊgalementeˊteˊcompromis.L′ouraganaemporteˊlepontdePetit−Goa^ve,coupanttemporairementlesud−ouestd′Haı¨tidurestedupayscequiaralentiladistributiondel′aided′urgence.L′eˊpideˊmiedecholeˊraenHaı¨tifutaggraveˊeapreˋsl′ouragan,tuantaumoins29personnes.Avecdesressourcesinsuffisantespourreˊpondreauxdommagescauseˊsparl′ouragan,legouvernementhaı¨tienademandeˊl′aided′autrespays.LesNationsUniesontlanceˊunappeld′urgencedepreˋsde120millionsUS d'aide et des pays du monde entier ont fourni de l'argent, des fournitures et un soutien logistique.
