CHICAGO, USA (CMC) - United States Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama has called for more aid for Haiti which has been battered by successive storms over the past few weeks that have killed more than 600 people.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the hundreds of thousands of Haitians struggling to survive the floods and devastation caused by the hurricanes and tropical storms of the past six weeks, and I extend my deepest sympathies to those affected by the loss of more than 500 lives," Obama said.
