Haiti Death Toll Climbs Past 1,100
Panic is gripping parts of Haiti as residents struggle to get scarce food and water, six days after taking a beating by Tropical Storm Jeanne.In the northwest city of Gonaives, desperate, hungry and thirsty residents are attacking each other, as aid workers have a hard time reaching the area with supplies. One farmer complained, "We can only drink the water people died in."Meantime, workers are struggling to bury hundreds of corpses. More than 1,100 people were killed by Jeanne, and some 1,200 are still missing. One woman said, "There are so many bodies, you smell them but you don't see them."Health workers fear an epidemic of disease from the unburied dead, overflowing raw sewage, lack of potable water, and infections from injuries.The Haitian government says the death toll could reach 2,000.The storm came four months after devastating floods along the southern border of Haiti and neighboring Dominican Republic.
