At least 13 people died in northern Haiti following two days of heavy rains, officials said. The majority of the deaths were caused by a landslide in the southeastern region of the coastal city of Cap-Haitien, according to a Thursday statement by Haiti's Civil Protection Agency.

More than 2,200 homes also were flooded, and there were significant losses in livestock swept away by the Haut-Cap river, authorities said. Crews were clearing roads across northern Haiti, with additional rain expected in upcoming days.
