     *Wyclef Jean and actor Matt Damon toured the ruins of Haitian city Gonaives on Sunday to draw attention to the plight of its citizens marooned by Tropical Storm Hanna and Hurricane Ike.

      "I'm speechless, I can't believe it," Damon told the Associated Press as he looked down from a U.N. helicopter at people living on the rooftops of flooded homes.      

      The actor also saw muddy streets littered with encrusted pots, pans and laundry where waters have receded.

      "It's inhumane. I wish there was a word in the dictionary. No human should be living like this," said Jean, a local hero and founder of the charity group Yele Haiti.

      The celebrity pair's four-hour visit Sunday "passed in a blur of stenches, colors and noise," wrote the AP. "As they turned onto the flooded Rue Christophe, another pickup packed with women sloshed within arm's reach. Face-to-face with the celebrities, the women cried, 'We're hungry!' A young man calf-deep in water raised both arms and shouted, 'Fix our roads. Fix our city!'"

       Damon and Jean are urging help for the United Nations to raise more than $100 million for 800,000 Haitians in need after four tropical storms and hurricanes have struck the country since mid-August.
