Tropical Storm Hanna and Hurricane Ike submerged the Haitian city and cut off roadways. Where waters have receded, streets remain a stinking mud bath and homes are carpeted with muck and encrusted pots, pans and laundry.

Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean help Haitian storm victims - AP
Matt Damon stayed calm and joked around while he helped with a chaotic food distribution Saturday in western Haiti, where hundreds of people remain homeless and hungry.
He arrived in the town of Cabaret with Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean to distribute rice, beans and oil to residents of a town that saw 60 people die in flash floods when Hurricane Ike grazed Haiti last week.

Matt and Wyclef Head to Haiti to Help After Ike
Matt Damon and Wyclef Jean were in Cabaret, Haiti on Saturday to distribute food and oil to people affected by Hurricane Ike. Wyclef has long been active in his home country, but he brought Matt along to attract attention to the region, which has been devastated after being hit by multiple storms this Summer. The charitable duo just left Toronto after the OneXOne gala, which benefited children's funds, so it seems as though Wyclef and Matt have a good thing going helping out together.
