Dealing with the potential of heavy rains, residents of the earthquake-ravaged cities in Haiti’s south have been asking for tents. On social media and different channels, the locals and a few advocates have mentioned the tents are a precedence for survivors to have shelter even whereas the rescue continues.
“We have to get the folks affected by the earthquake tents ASAP,” Kingsley Jean, an activist based mostly in Haiti, tweeted. “A tropical storm is coming and most of them are sleeping outdoors. It’s already raining.”
Because the 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook Haiti Saturday morning, elements of the devastated area and effectively past have felt aftershocks that occurred. Six aftershocks of 5.0 or higher magnitude had been felt throughout the southern area on Sunday morning, according to Accuweather.
The aftershocks got here after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake left not less than 1,297 folks lifeless and greater than 5,700 injured, in response to the Civil Safety company.
As rescue efforts happen, Tropical Despair Grace is predicted to go by Haiti with as much as 15 inches of rain, according to AP. The rain would disrupt the continuing work of rescue and analysis groups. As of two:34 a.m. Monday, Civil Safety staff and Colombia’s search and rescue staff had been transporting medical equipment to the South.
Some residents in Aquin, Fond-des-Nègres and Saint-Louis-du-Sud have mentioned on social media that there’s intermittent raining in these areas, whereas others have mentioned there isn’t any rain.
