Flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic causes deaths and destroys homes, officials say
Heavy rains triggered flooding and landslides in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, resulting in deaths and destruction of homes, authorities reported on Tuesday. In Haiti's southwestern region, at least four people were killed and two others remain missing. Over 3,200 families were directly affected by the flooding, which led to the destruction of hundreds of homes.
The landslides also impacted several roads in the area. Meanwhile, the Dominican Republic experienced similar conditions, with at least 30 communities cut off by the rains and more than 100 homes flooded. The flooding is attributed to a low-pressure system moving through the northern Caribbean.
