Haiti storm death toll soars

Bodies remained in the streets and in growing piles outside morgues in a Haitian city that has been devastated by floods that have torn apart families and left hungry crowds mobbing truckloads of aid.

The death toll from deluges unleashed by Tropical Storm Jeanne climbed to more than 700, Haitian officials said, with more than 600 of them in the city of Gonaives alone. More than 1,000 others were declared missing.
