HeadlineDec 15, 2021

In Haiti, at least 62 people were killed and scores injured after a fuel truck exploded late Monday in the city of Cap-Haïtien. Dozens of homes were also damaged, and city officials said many would need to be demolished. The fuel tanker reportedly flipped over in the street, and bystanders gathered to collect leaking gas when the blast occurred.
