Tropical Storm Jeanne - Dozens die in Haiti storm floods
More than 90 people in Haiti have died as a result of floods in the wake of tropical storm Jeanne. Several people are also reported missing after torrential rains fell on the north-west of the country.
UN peacekeepers, who came to Haiti following a coup in February, have been deployed to help survivors.
Jeanne had earlier caused extensive flooding and a number of deaths in the neighbouring Dominican Republic.
Two days of steady rain sent torrents down the mountains of northern Haiti, causing a river to burst its banks, officials said.
Flooding hit the coastal town of Gonaives and surrounding areas, covering crops.
At its strongest, Jeanne killed at least eight people in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
