Concerns over surge in cholera in Haiti post-Matthew
There are growing concerns over a surge in cholera cases in hurricane-hit Haiti. The impoverished nation was already struggling to stem the water-borne disease ahead of Hurricane Matthew, which has so far claimed over 300 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and damaged the country's water and sanitation systems. ITV points out that UN peacekeepers inadvertently introduced cholera to the country after the earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010; the disease has already killed around 9,000 people and infected hundreds of thousands more.

Hurricane Matthew kills at least 14 in the US

Hurricane Matthew has killed at least 14 people as it battered the US east coast.

As the storm hit there were major floods and power outages in Florida, Georgia, and North and South Carolina.

Matthew - which was a category 5 storm when it hit Haiti last week killing nearly 900 people - has since been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone but at one point hit wind speeds of over 157mph.
