A bus filled with Haitian people makes its way south in a flooded road near the north-eastern town of Gonaives, Haiti 24 September 2004, some six days after floods inundated the city and its surroundings. While rescuers in northern Haiti found more bodies, authorities said the official death toll had risen to 1,160, with another 1,250 missing, most of them feared dead. Thousands of homes were destroyed and about a quarter of a million people are estimated to have been affected by the September 18 flooding spawned by Jeanne, which was then a tropical storm but has now strengthened into a hurricane that threatens Florida.
