At least 23 people have died near Haiti's capital following heavy rains that triggered floods, Interior Minister Paul Antoine Bien-Aime told AFP Friday. Bien-Aime said 23 bodies were found Thursday in Cabaret, north of the capital, after floodwaters hit their hillside homes, sweeping them away in the current.
"It is still a preliminary toll. There are about 12 people still missing," he added. More than 6,000 people have had to leave their completely flooded homes in Cabaret, authorities said.
