Floods in Haiti

We’ve had torrential rain all afternoon and this evening in Haiti, and this has caused serious flooding in some areas. The worst affected seems to be the south of the country, around Les Cayes where at least 8 people are reported killed by floods over 5ft deep.

SO many people are vulnerable as over a million people are still homeless. Witnesses said some homes had collapsed and people were fleeing for safer areas.

Worryingly the rainy season has not yet officially started, and it seems that Haiti’s long suffering people are set for further problems in the days to come.
