At least 42 dead, 11 missing, thousands displaced due to heavy floods in Haiti
Heavy flooding in Haiti has left at least 42 people dead and 11 missing, the country's disaster response agency said Monday after a weekend of storms.
Though the weather has since improved, the damage has been done. Crops were affected, rivers burst into roads and major health care centers and schools were heavily damaged. Before the storm, nearly half of Haiti's population had already been in need of help because of the country's humanitarian crisis, worsened by gangs, a lack of food and cholera. Its $720 million Humanitarian Response Plan was underfunded, with only 20% of its budget received before the storm further worsened the crisis.

Then they often chop the limbs of suspected gangsters, behead them and set them afire, sometimes when they are still alive. Vigilantes have killed at least 164 people since the movement dubbed “bwa kale” began in April.
