海地与多米尼加暴雨引发洪水山体滑坡致至少4人死亡：海地3209户家庭受灾、847所房屋被毁、2名渔民失踪
据美联社报道，连日暴雨在海地与多米尼加引发洪水与山体滑坡，造成至少4人死亡，数十个社区与外界的交通被切断。海地民防总局（DGPC）表示，临时统计显示死亡4人、2名渔民失踪，受灾最重的是海地西南部地区。
DGPC公布的数据显示，海地共有21个市镇受灾，3,209户家庭受影响；Nippes、Grand'Anse、Sud与Ouest等地2,130所房屋被洪水浸泡，847所房屋被毁，另有219所受损。Nippes省多条河流漫溢，Sud省有4条河流水位上涨，Baradères市中心出现内涝；多处道路因山体滑坡中断，通讯困难，农业损失严重，大量种植园被毁。
海地水文气象部门与民防部门已提高警戒级别：Grand'Anse、Sud、Nippes、Sud-Est与Ouest五省发布橙色警报，Artibonite与Nord-Ouest两省发布黄色警报。民防部门正陆续开放临时避难所安置受灾居民。
这场持续三天的强降雨天气系统笼罩大安的列斯群岛上空。邻国多米尼加同样出现洪灾，当局报告有人员伤亡与房屋受损；两国具体损失仍在统计中。
Flooding and Landslides in Haiti and the Dominican Republic Kill at Least Four: 3,209 Families Affected and 847 Homes Destroyed in Haiti
Heavy rains triggered flooding and landslides in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, killing at least four people and cutting off dozens of communities, the Associated Press reported, citing authorities. Haiti's Civil Protection Agency (DGPC) said the provisional death toll in the country's southwestern region stood at four, with two fishermen also reported missing.
According to the DGPC, 21 communes were affected across Haiti and 3,209 families impacted. A total of 2,130 houses in Nippes, Grand'Anse, South and West departments were flooded, 847 homes were destroyed and another 219 sustained damage. Several rivers overflowed in Nippes, landslides affected roads in the southwest, communications remained difficult, and significant agricultural losses were recorded, with numerous plantations destroyed.
Haiti's Hydro-Meteorological Unit, in coordination with the DGPC, raised alert levels: Grand'Anse, Sud, Nippes, Sud-Est and Ouest departments were placed under an orange alert, while Artibonite and Nord-Ouest were under a yellow alert. The civil protection agency said it was gradually opening temporary shelters.
The weather system had persisted over the Greater Antilles for three days. Flooding was also reported in the neighbouring Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, as authorities in both countries continued to assess casualties and damage.
