Port-Au-Prince - At least 23 people have died near Haiti's capital following heavy rains that triggered floods, Interior Minister Paul Antoine Bien-Aime told AFP on Friday.
Bien-Aime said 23 bodies were found on Thursday in Cabaret, north of the capital, after floodwaters hit their hillside homes.
"It is still a preliminary toll. There are about 12 people still missing," he added.
