Title: Floods in Haiti: 42 Dead and 8 Missing

Authorities in Haiti have reported at least 42 deaths and 8 people missing following heavy rainfall that has caused widespread flooding and multiple landslides across the country. The floods have forced nearly 13,400 people to evacuate their homes, damaging hundreds of buildings and turning some streets into rivers, according to Haiti's civil protection agency. Prime Minister Ariel Henry stated in a government announcement on Sunday, "My government, alongside national and international institutions, is adopting urgent measures to meet the demands." Officials are still working to assess the extent of the damage caused by the rains that have been sweeping the country since last Saturday. The rainwater has also caused severe damage to crops in central Haiti, while Prime Minister Ariel Henry mentioned he is working with local and international organizations to respond to the needs of those affected by the floods.
