Tropical depression could pass over areas already hit by Saturday’s quake that killed at least 1,297 people
Medical teams and aid workers were racing to save lives and provide food and shelter on Monday as Haiti’s prime minister warned the official death toll from Saturday’s earthquake could rise further and a tropical depression bore down the crisis-stricken Caribbean country.
At least 1,297 people were killed by the 7.2-magnitude quake – a tremor even more powerful than the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that killed more than 200,000 Haitians in 2010 and leveled much of Port-au-Prince.
