Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived for a visit. The Category 4 hurricane tore through Haiti on Oct. 4, killing about 1,000 people and leaving more than 1.4 million in need of humanitarian aid, including 175,000 made homeless. "We will mobilize all the resources to help you," Ban told a handful of residents gathered at a local school being used as a shelter for hurricane victims.
