Hurricane kills 14 in Haiti
Hurricane Gustav caused a killer landslide and dumped torrential rain on southern Haiti.
Haiti's civil protection director Marie Alta Jean-Baptiste said at least 14 people were killed in Haiti, including a young girl who was swept off a bridge by floodwaters.
In the neighbouring Dominican Republic, eight people have died in a landslide -- including two infants.
Civil defence director Luis Luna Paulino said that the eight "were all members of a family that had taken shelter since Tropical Storm Fay and left to go home because they thought the danger had passed."
Rising water threatened Haiti's crops amid protests over high food prices, and oil prices rose on fears the storm could batter oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Jamaica issued a tropical storm warning.
