  • Latest figures of those killed in the disaster surpassed 2,200 while the exact amount remains uncertain and rising daily as the search for survivors continue.
  • Thousands of homes have been destroyed, roads are cut off due to landslides, power lines and communications have been damaged, leaving behind people’s means to make a living. The Departments South, Grand’Anse, South West and Les Nippes are the worst affected.
