Flood in Haiti

Heavy rains and flooding in Haiti have heavily affected areas previously damaged by Hurricane Matthew. At least 6 people have been killed since the flooding began.

Over 5000 homes in Port Salut town are reported to be damaged with several homes being completely destroyed.

Flood waters destroyed a national road bridge connecting the town with the rest of the coast of the South province, leaving several Matthew-affected areas without road access.
