Hurricane Matthew: New images show scale of Haiti destruction

Jeremie seems to have bore the brunt of the storm

New images show the extent of devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti, with one town virtually wiped out and at least 23 people dead.

The death toll is expected to rise amid concern over an area in the south-west which remains largely cut off.

Images of the south-west coastal town of Jeremie show flattened houses, with food and medical facilities badly hit.

The hurricane has gone back up to a Category Four storm as it heads for the US state of Florida.

Hurricane Matthew has already sliced through Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas, and was the most powerful Caribbean storm in nearly a decade.
