In Pictures: Haiti Rocked With Earth Quake and Floods

Floods and an earthquake hit Haiti this week–killing over 40 people, and displacing thousands.

The heavy downpour caused massive flooding, claiming 42 lives over the weekend, while the 5.5 magnitude earthquake killed three people on Tuesday.

The United Nations expressed sadness as the troubled island-nation continues to be bombarded with more ills and natural disasters.

The UN said it stood ready to cooperate with Haitian authorities to provide aid to Haitians affected, providing hot meals, ready-to-eat rations and dry food.
