Mudslides kill 11 in Haiti

A STORM set off mudslides and flooding that killed at least 11 people in impoverished Haiti.

Rains engulfed the capital Port-au-Prince for several hours, turning hilly streets into rivers and sweeping debris down denuded hillsides.

Motorists abandoned their cars and women could be heard screaming for help as water pounded the supposedly temporary settlements that arose after last year’s powerful earthquake.
