People walk in flooded streets of city of Gonaives, northeastern Haiti, September 21, as tropical storm Jeanne devastated the north of the island. Massive deforestation in Haiti as a result of decades of imperialist domination is a major reason for flooding, which has resulted in thousands of deaths this year. So far, the latest flood has left at least 700 dead. More than 1,000 are still missing, and 250,000 have been left homeless from this preventable social disaster.
