Death toll in Gonaives tops 1000 after Haiti flood
Amid rising floodwaters in Gonaives, Haiti, at least 1,070 deaths are confirmed with up to 1,250 missing as poverty and governance failures exacerbate the disaster. Aid trucks struggle through mud while UN and local volunteers distribute scarce food and water. Villagers salvage belongings, many because of homes built in flood zones, as hospitals double as morgues and survivors recount efforts to save others.
