Tropical Storm Grace sweeps over Haiti with heavy rains just two days after a powerful earthquake hit the country
People watch an excavator removing rubble from the site of a collapsed hotel after Saturday's 7.2 magnitude quake, in Les Cayes, Haiti on August 16, 2021.
The earthquake brought down tens of thousands of buildings in the poorest country in the Americas, which is still recovering from a major quake 11 years ago that killed more than 200,000 people. Haitian authorities said on Monday that 1,419 deaths had been confirmed, with some 6,900 people injured. "We came from all over to help: from the north, from Port-au Prince, from everywhere," said Maria Fleurant, a firefighter from northern Haiti.
Jaenkendy and others have been sleeping under a tarpaulin on a dirt road nearby, and were hunkering down for the rains.
