One half of the island of Hispaniola (5)

I believe the answer is:

haiti

(Other definitions for haiti that I've seen before include "foreign state" , "earthquake-hit area" , "Caribbean isle" , "W. Indies republic on Hispaniola" , "I hit a West Indian island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
