Over 600 die in Haiti flood

AP, GONAIVES, Haiti
Bloated corpses and weeping relatives filled morgues in Haiti after Tropical Storm Jeanne left at least 622 people dead, another tragedy on this Caribbean island in a year marked by revolts, military interventions and deadly floods. The death toll was expected to rise.
Hardest hit was the northern city of Gonaives, where search crews continued to recover bodies carried away by the raging weekend floods or buried by mud or the ruins of their homes.
Toussaint Kongo-Doudou, a spokesman for the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti, said at least 500 people had died in Gonaives.
"I lost my kids and there's nothing I can do," said Jean Estimable,
whose 2-year-old daughter was killed and another of his five children was missing and presumed dead.
"All I have is complete despair and the clothes I'm wearing," he said, pointing to a floral dress and ripped pants borrowed from a neighbor.
Many of the bodies stacked in the city's flood-damaged General Hospital were children.
Residents waded through ankledeep mud outside the mayor's office, where doctors were treating the wounded and aid workers were helping a woman give birth.
Elsewhere, 56 people were killed in northern Port-de-Paix and 17 died in the nearby town of Terre Neuve, officials said. FROM PAGE 12
Dieufort Deslorges, a spokesman for the government civil protection agency, reported another 49 bodies recovered in other villages and towns, mostin the northwest.
"We expect to find dozens more bodies, especially in Gonaives, as ... floodwaters recede," Deslorges said.
The storm came four months after devastating floods along the southern border of Haiti and neighboring Dominican Republic. Some 1,700 bodies were recovered and 1,600 more were missing and presumed dead.
Floods are particularly devastating in Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, because it is almost completely deforested, leaving few roots to hold back rushing waters or mudslides. Most of the trees have been chopped down to make charcoal for cooking.
Gonaives, a city of about a quarter million people, also suffered fighting during the February rebellion that led to the ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and left an estimated 300 dead.
All this in a year supposed to be dedicated to celebrating the 200th anniversary of the country's independence from France. Haiti, the only country to launch a successful rebellion against slavery, was the world's first black republic.
Two days after lashing Haiti, Jeanne regained hurricane strength over the Atlantic on Monday but posed no immediate threat to land. The storm entered the Caribbean last week, killing seven people in Puerto Rico before heading to the Dominican Republic where it killed at least 18.
