Rescuers scramble to save Haiti earthquake victims

Rescue workers are trying to locate survivors of the deadly earthquake that struck Haiti on Saturday as a tropical storm hit the Caribbean nation.

At least 1,419 people are known to have died in the 7.2-magnitude quake, more than 6,900 were injured, and an unknown number are still missing.

Social media footage showed heavy rain pouring over the Island’s east, with the quake-hit west next in its path.

Roads already made impassable by the quake could be further damage by the rains, so aid teams are racing to get essential provisions to the quake-hit region.
