Severe flooding and landslides in Haiti due to heavy rains
Destructive flooding and landslides reported across several departments in Haiti following heavy rainfall.
Heavy rains have caused destructive flooding and landslides in Haiti, affecting multiple regions. Rivers overflowed banks, triggering flash floods and landslides in riverside communities. The hardest‑hit areas are in cyclone‑ and flood‑prone regions, with extensive damage to homes, infrastructure, and agricultural plots documented. The flooding has displaced thousands and further strained an already vulnerable population. Environmental degradation, including deforestation and soil erosion, has increased the country's susceptibility to such events.
