Heavy rains fell on Haiti over the weekend, and left at least 42 dead and 11 missing. The bad weather has caused major flooding and landslides in seven of the country's ten departments.

The city of Léogane, located 40km southwest of the capital Port-au-Prince, was particularly affected, the damage having been caused by three rivers in flood. Nearly half of Haiti's population is in need of humanitarian assistance, a figure that has doubled in just five years, according to the UN.
