The Haitian government is advising hundreds of thousands of residents of Port-au-Prince's tent cities to evacuate as Tropical Storm Tomas threatens Haiti after killing at least 14 in St. Lucia.
Aid groups and the government are already struggling to control a cholera outbreak in Haiti that has killed at least 330 and sickened more than 4,700.
More than 1 million still remain homeless in the earthquake-shattered Port-au-Prince 10 months after the disaster.
Tomas is expected to strengthen over the next two days to a hurricane. Tent dwellers are being urged to voluntarily evacuate the tent cities to the homes of family and friends for their safety.
