Torrential Rains Trigger Flooding and Landslides in Haiti, Killing at Least 42
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, at least 42 people have died, dozens more have been injured,
and over 13,000 people have been forced from their homes after a weekend
of nonstop rain caused rivers to overtop their banks, triggering flash
floods and landslides. Even before the flooding, the U.N. reported more
than 5 million Haitians - or nearly half of the population - were in
need of humanitarian assistance.
