Where did the Island Go?

PORT PRINCE . - An expedition of the UN will be transferred today to the island of the Turtle, in the North coast of Haiti, to evaluate the effects of the storm ' Jeanné. The first helicopters of recognition have not been able to sight the island, where 26,000 people live , and the authorities fear that it has disappeared by the strong surge caused by the storm. At the moment, already they are more than 500 deads in Haiti.

In a first recognition with helicopters the past Sunday, cash of the Mission of Stabilization of the United Nations (MINUSTAH) could not find the island, in which 26,000 people reside, reason why she has been decided to send a new expedition today.

wow im totally ____ing confused

what does that mean in a language a stupid teen would understand

it means hurican jenne whiped out an island, helicopters and search parties are unamble to find it, its under 30 ft of water or more. It killed 26,000 people its the most deadliest huricacne in history.

A report that appeared yesterday in the online edition of El Mundo, a Madrid newpaper, was the original source for news indicating that this island may have disappeared. El Mundo is now reporting Haiti's casualties from Hurricane Jeanne as 600 confirmed dead, 1,000 missing, of whom most are likely to be dead, and 384 wounded.

I didn't see any correction on the earlier report but it conflicts with what they are now reporting.

Haiti's death toll is certain to rise. Most parts of the country have become inaccessible, so it is difficult to assess all the flood damage. There are also fears over the spread of infectious diseases from contamination in the wake of the flooding.
