Another Catastrophe Hits Port-au-Prince

Last night another rain storm hit Port-au-Prince leaving ten dead and three missing. Due to the heavy rains, flash flooding occurred in Leogone (an area in Southern Port-au-Prince) where the waters crashed violently through the homes and quake-refuge camps, causing an additional 4,000 to lose their homes and tents. Several more people are also reported missing. An 11-month old and a 2-year old were found drowned among the dead bodies. Tonight another lightning and thunder storm is occurring as we write this blog. It seems that Haiti is being bombarded with terrible tragedy after terrible tragedy leaving many dead and many more wounded physically and emotionally. Please continue to pray for these precious people as they daily have to find the strength to endure the pain and suffering.
