Personal belongings, covered with mud, litter a street as flood waters recede in Cabaret September 16, 2008. 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.
