The U.S
800 dead from Tropical Storm Jeanni
icniselve
By Amy Bracken
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GONAIVES, Haiti — U.N. peacekeepers
fired into the air to keep a hungry crowd at
bay Wednesday as aid workers handed out
the first food in days for some in this city
devastated by floods from Tropical Storm
Jeanne. Meteorologists said the storm could
strike the United States by this weekend.
It was too soon to tell where or if Jeanne
would hit, but the National Hurricane Center
in Miami warned people in the northwest and
central Bahamas and along the southeast U.S.
coast to beware of dangerous surf and rip cur
rents kicked up by Jeanne in the coming days.
At 5 p.m., Jeanne was centered about 500
miles east of the Bahamian island of Great
Abaco. It was moving west-southwest and
was expected to strengthen and turn toward
the west in the next 24 hours. Hurricane-
force winds extended 45 miles and tropical-
storm force winds another 140 miles.
In Haiti, mass burials for the more than 800
victims, with bodies piled outside morgues rais
ing fears about health, were expected to start
after delays forced by public opposition. Many
Haitians believe that unless a body is respect
fully buried, the spirit may wander, commit evil
and hann family members.
In Gonaives, the country’s hardest-hit
and third-largest city, some 1,000 people
have been declared missing and authorities
say they expect the death toll to rise.
Rescuers pulled bodies from mud and
rubble — some still under water five days
after Jeanne lashed the area with torrential
rains for some 30 hours — then added them
to the pile in bodybags that lay in mud and
grime in front of three morgues.
Red Cross, government officials and aid
workers met Wednesday to discuss how to dis
pose of the flyblown and decomposing corpses.
On Wednesday, government adviser
Carl Murat CantaVe revealed they had
come up against opposition when Red
Cross workers took a truckload of bodies
to the Bois Marchand cemetery on Mon
day and were stoned by residents.
He said police had negotiated with residents
about the health hazards of leaving the corpses
unburied, and persuaded them to agree. Aid
workers said the cemetery is the only one in the
city not submerged by floodwaters.
Graveyard manager Bony Jeudy said 78
people have been buried at Bois Marchand,
some in mass graves, since Monday.
“They come from all over, mostly on
wooden carts. Adults, children and babies.
They were brought in by friends, families
and strangers,” he said of the bodies.
Dieufort Deslorges, spokesman for Haiti’s
civil protection agency, said about 100 more
bodies were found in Gonaives on Wednes
day, raising the nation’s death toll to 792.
“That’s the exact number but for certain
it is more than 800 deaths, with more than
700 in Gonaives alone, and it will go up” he
told The Associated Press.
He said there still were dozens of unrecovered
bodies. “There are bodies in the water, in the
mud, in collapsed houses and floating in houses
that were absolutely covered by the floods.”
Last week, Jeanne also killed seven
people in Puerto Rico and 19 in Domini
can Republic. The overall death toll for
the Caribbean was at least 817.
On Wednesday, carcasses of pigs, goats and
dogs still were being carried by streams of water
in Gonaives, also threatening survivors’ health.
Martine Vice-Aimee, an 18-year-old
mother of two whose home was destroyed
and who lined up with dozens of others out
side Gonaives’ Roman Catholic cathedral,
said people already are getting ill.
“People are getting sick from the water,
they’re walking in it, their skin is getting
