Peacekeepers from the UN mission in Haiti, MINUSTAH, are supporting efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to scores of people affected by Hurricane Matthew.

The storm barrelled through the Caribbean nation on Tuesday and the UN says more than 350,000 people require assistance while some news agencies are putting the death toll at over 800.

Haiti was set to hold presidential and legislative elections on Sunday which have been postponed.

MINUSTAH Force Commander Ajax Porto Pinheiro told Leda Letra how UN “blue helmets” are helping Haiti in the wake of the hurricane.
