Gangs offer aid as Haiti earthquake death toll crosses 2,200
Al Jazeera
The earthquake last week left more than 12,000 people injured and destroyed more than 52,000 homes.
The death toll from last week’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti has climbed to 2,207, with 344 people missing, according to the country’s civil defence agency. The death toll increases at a time when relief operations are expanding, and authorities are struggling with security at distribution points. Gangs have hijacked aid trucks and even ambulances, forcing relief workers to transport supplies by helicopter. Recovery efforts have also been impeded by flooding and damage to access roads, feeding tensions in some of the hardest-hit areas. In places, desperate crowds have scuffled over bags of food.
