Two girls taking refuge in Congregationalist school shelter in Cabaret September 16, 2008. They are among the 250 families in the shelter who are receiving help from the Red Cross. Haiti faces a deepening crisis after storms destroyed much of the impoverished country's rice crop, sparking fears of a repeat of the deadly food riots earlier this year that brought down the government.
