Waters have flooded the southern regions of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, with a tropical storm warning remaining in effect for Haiti. The hurricane is expected to head northeast after Cuba and strike the southeastern Bahamas by Wednesday evening. According to EFE, heavy rains from Tropical Storm "Melissa" have killed at least three people in Haiti on Tuesday. Meanwhile, international organizations have stepped up relief efforts to mitigate the storm's impact on this impoverished country, which is suffering from gang violence.
