(CMR) Just one week after a 5.3 magnitude earthquake killed two people and injured several others, the people of Haiti were again forced to deal with another catastrophe on Monday with over 2000 families flooded out of their homes. Three deaths were reported.
“We have 3 fatalities in the (Nord-Ouest department) and one person missing,” civil protection director Jerry Chandler told Reuters news.
The storm destroyed at least three houses and flooded more than 2,570 homes, many of them in a region still trying to recover from a deadly 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit last August.
The rains also flooded a power plant and caused a bridge to collapse, leaving one community isolated.
Haiti continues to deal with numerous problems, suffering natural disasters, political divisions after the assassination of Moise, with gang violence and kidnappings on the rise and deepening poverty.
