At least 10 people in Haiti have been killed in floods caused by Hurricane Melissa, which has been battering the Caribbean region, local authorities told AFP on Wednesday.
The La Digue River, in the coastal town of Petit-Goave, overflowed its banks, sweeping away several people. According to the town’s mayor, Bertrand Supreme, and the director general of a local hospital, more than ten bodies have been recovered, while the search continues for those still missing.
