Witnesses and journalists in Jimani said devastation was widespread there. The Soleil River, which runs across the border from Haiti, burst its banks Monday after seven days of heavy rain, sweeping away men, women and children in the Independencia province town.
National Emergency Committee chief Radhames Lora Salcedo said that for sanitary reasons the dead would have to be interred in mass graves.
