Jeremie - NNA
The death toll in Haiti from Hurricane Matthew has soared to at least 283 people, officials said late on Thursday, as rescue workers scrambled to reach devastated areas cut off by the powerful storm.
Aid agency CARE said the southern city of Jeremie was left nearly completely rased.
"It's complete destruction in Jeremie," CARE Haiti country director Jean-Michel Vigreux tweeted. "About 80 percent of the buildings are gone. All phone lines and electricity are gone. Access is completely cut off, and everyone is running out of food and money."
Officials said they were especially concerned about the department of Grand-Anse, located on the northern tip of the peninsula that was slammed by the Category 4 storm, which severed roads and communications links. Officials with the Civil Protection Agency said 38 of the known deaths were reported in Grand-Anse
