In this Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012, a man returns empty-handed after early morning crabbing in a body of water near the Cite Soleil slum, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Many of the shanty town residents rely on the bounty of the sea, hoping to sell what they catch at local fish markets. Haitians suffered widespread hunger following an unusually active storm season this year and are likely to experience more, according to a study released Friday, Dec. 7, 2012. Nearly 70 percent of the more than 1,000 households interviewed said they experienced moderate or severe hunger, the study found. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)

A man rests on a hammock as others chat on Manresa beach before the arrival of Tropical Storm Isaac in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Friday, Aug. 24, 2012. Isaac strengthened slightly as it spun toward the Dominican Republic and Haiti, but seemed unlikely to gain enough steam early Friday to strike as a hurricane. The storm's failure to gain the kind of strength in the Caribbean that forecasters initially projected made it more likely that Isaac won't become a hurricane until it enters the Gulf of Mexico, said Eric Blake, a forecaster with U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
