Dominican soldiers searched for more flood victims on Wednesday, burying corpses quickly and explaining to families that not all bodies could wait to be identified. At least 363 were dead and hundreds were still missing. ”The victims we find will be buried where they are,” said a Civil Defence officer.
Frantic relatives dug through the mud for loved ones as a makeshift morgue filled up with 100 corpses in rains that devoured a Dominican Republic village on the Haitian border. Radio stations reported on Tuesday at least 60 people were dead on the Haitian side.
