Death toll from Haiti earthquake climbs to 1,941, with over 9,900 injured

Port-au-Prince, Haiti — The death toll from the weekend earthquake in Haiti jumped to 1,941, with over 9,900 injured, Haitian officials said Tuesday. The news comes as remnants of Tropical Depression Grace battered the country with heavy rain, complicating search and rescue efforts.

CBS News flew by helicopter to the hardest-hit areas because some of the roads were blocked by mudslides. From the air, the destruction is not obvious — it's only when you get on the ground that the full scope of the destruction becomes clear. In Les Cayes, one of Haiti's largest cities, many of the homes and businesses have been destroyed, forcing many to camp out in the open. Nearly 20 miles north, in the village of Maniche, Mayor David Brinard said 98% of the town has been obliterated. He said the most urgent need right now are tents and materials to rebuild homes.
