Casi 1.300 muertes en Haití tras terremoto masivo
August 16, 2021 - La cifra de muertes por el terremoto de 7,2 de magnitud que sacudió a la nación caribeña el sábado ha aumentado hacia 1.400, y hay al menos 5.700 personas lesionadas.
The country’s civil protection agency said 1,297 dead had been counted by Sunday, a day after the quake turned thousands of structures into rubble and set off frantic rescue efforts ahead of a potential deluge from an approaching storm.
Tropical Depression Grace is predicted to reach Haiti on Monday night. The civil protection agency said Haitians must expect strong winds, heavy rain, rough seas, landslides and flooding.
