23 Die in Haiti Flooding

HeadlineJun 08, 2011

In Haiti, at least 23 people have died and scores of others are missing after torrential rains set off devastating flooding. Most of the deaths came in the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The crisis has worsened with the large number of people living in tent communities and temporary shelters following the devastating earthquake of January 2010. Haiti is bracing for more deaths with hurricane season just beginning.
