In Haiti , which was still recovering from both the 2010 earthquake and the ongoing cholera outbreak , at least 54 people died , and approximately 200,000 were left homeless as a result of four days of ongoing rain from Hurricane Sandy . Heavy damage occurred in Port-Salut after rivers overflowed their banks . In the capital of Port-au-Prince , streets were flooded by the heavy rains , and it was reported that " the whole south of the country is underwater " . Most of the tents and buildings in the city 's sprawling refugee camps and the Cité Soleil neighborhood were flooded or leaking , a repeat of what happened earlier in the year during the passage of Hurricane Isaac . Crops were also wiped out by the storm and the country would be making an appeal for emergency aid . Damage in Haiti was estimated at $ 750 million ( 2012 USD ) , making it the costliest tropical cyclone in Haitian history . In the month following Sandy , a resurgence of cholera linked to the storm killed at least 44 people and infected more than 5,000 others
