Another quake in Haiti…..

After a series of minor earthquakes in Cuba yesterday which have caused damage but no reported casualties to date, a small earthquake early today in northern Haiti has collapsed an apartment building and killed two people.

The tremor struck Haiti's second-largest city , Cap-Haitien early Sunday morning, and although five people were pulled from the rubble, two have since died. The other three are in hospital.

Haitian police, civil protection authorities and U.N. peacekeepers are searching for more survivors.

Cap-Haitien was not affected by the 12th January earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince.
