23 Die in Haiti Flooding 
-------------------------



In Haiti, at least 23 people have died and scores of others are missing
after torrential rains set off devastating flooding. Most of the deaths
came in the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The crisis has worsened
with the large number of people living in tent communities and temporary
shelters following the devastating earthquake of January 2010. Haiti is
bracing for more deaths with hurricane season just beginning.
