Hurricane killed at least 20 in Haiti

At least 20 people died when Hurricane Tomas brushed past Haiti, more than double the number initially reported, the country’s civil protection department said today.

Seven people remain missing and dozens were injured during the storm. More than 30,000 people remain in shelters and Tomas left nearly 6,000 families homeless. Others, already homeless from the January 12 earthquake, lost their tents.
