Several sections of Western and Southern Haiti remain under water following days of heavy rain.



Officials say flooding has caused extensive damage to homes and crops and killed several livestock.



Businesses had to be closed in the city of Les Cayes yesterday, as several roads were flooded.



Storm shelters have since been opened for people who are now homeless.
