2:23Now PlayingHaiti’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake has killed at least 1,419 people and injured more than 6,900, the country’s civil protection agency said late Monday, as the Caribbean nation rushed to help survivors and braced for heavy rain and wind from Tropical Depression Grace.
Facing complaints about slow government response, Prime Minister Ariel Henry said his administration would “act with greater speed” to aid “the maximum number of victims possible.” On Monday afternoon, he called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the crisis and define “priorities.”
The poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti has been struggling with food shortages, widespread violence and political chaos in the wake of the murder of President Jovenel Moise last month.
