Another eight people were missing, said the civil protection authority of the Caribbean state on Sunday (local time). According to preliminary figures, a total of around 13,390 people had to leave their homes and seek refuge on Saturday and Sunday. More than 1,200 houses were flooded, it said. Five of the ten departments in the country were affected, including the capital Port-au-Prince. Agriculture is heavily burdened.
