United Nations aid trucks looted in Haiti

United Nations aid trucks have been looted by Haitians left devastated by Hurricane Matthew.

It happened shortly before UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived for a visit to the Caribbean nation.

Almost 1,000 people were killed and officials say more than 1.4 million people urgently need humanitarian help.

Nigel Timmins is humanitarian director at the charity Oxfam and says reports of looting aren't a surprise: "Sadly sometimes these things happen, it is still quite a chaotic situation.

"Some communities still havent been reached, I know our teams are having to reach some of the communities by boat because some of the roads are still out."
