Hurricane Melissa leaves at least 40 dead in Haiti

At least 40 people have died across Haiti, Steven Aristil with Haiti’s Civil Protection Agency told The Associated Press.

He said 20 of those deaths were reported in the southern coastal town of Petit-Goâve, where another 10 remain missing.

Earlier Wednesday, the mayor of Petit-Goâve told the AP that at least 25 people were killed in that community, where flooding collapsed dozens of homes.

The number of dead and missing in Haiti often fluctuate in the early days after major natural disasters.
