Overview
- Days of torrential rain that spanned Saturday to Monday have left at least 12 dead in northwestern Haiti and about 16 across the island shared with the Dominican Republic.
- The worst impacts in Haiti hit Saint‑Louis‑du‑Nord, Port‑de‑Paix and Anse‑à‑Foleur, where floodwaters damaged a hospital, swamped more than 900 homes and destroyed the Ti Rivyè bridge.
- Local officials in Haiti say washed‑out roads now prevent deliveries of food and basic goods to flooded communities, and some towns shut schools and businesses as waters rose.
- In the Dominican Republic, local reports counted four deaths, including an infant killed by a wall collapse, and authorities said more than 30,000 people evacuated their homes.
- Forecasters in Haiti warned of additional showers through April 17, and emergency agencies said saturated ground and eroded slopes could turn even brief downpours into new floods and landslides.
