T.S. Grace giving no breathing room to southern Haiti 3 days after quake

Description

Camp-Perrin, Aug 17 (EFE).- Tropical Storm Grace is giving no breathing room to southern Haiti on Tuesday, three days after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake rocked that part of the country and where rescue work is continuing amid the heavy rain that is complicating the situation of thousands of people made homeless by the temblor.The rain dumped by the storm was intense all night long but has lightened up a bit during the day, although some 136,800 families are being directly affected by it since their homes were destroyed or heavily damaged - many with their roofs collapsed - by the quake.With at least 1,941 people killed and some 9,900 injured, the quake is the second-deadliest temblor to strike Latin America in the past 25 years, with the worst one also hitting Haiti in 2010 and possibly killing more than 300,000 people.
