Haiti Earthquake Death Toll Tops 700

The death toll in Haiti after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake has risen to more than 700, officials said Sunday.

At least 1,800 people were injured and more remain missing amid widespread damage, authorities said. There also have been several aftershocks. The temblor struck Saturday near the town of Petit-Trou-de-Nippes, about 125 kilometers west of the capital, Port-au-Prince, at a depth of 10 kilometers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who took office just three weeks ago after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, said the government was mobilizing aid to the affected areas.
