Port-Au-Prince - Tropical Storm Hanna killed at least 10 people in Gonaives after flooding the city, local police said on Tuesday.
"I have seen about 10 bodies floating in the flooded streets of the city," Ernst Dorfeuille of the Gonaives police said by phone.
One resident of the city said the storm, downgraded from a hurricane but expected to regain hurricane force, sparked flooding that in some cases rose almost to the ceiling of homes as residents waited out the storms on their roofs.
