Locals were struggling to get access to basic needs in Saint-Louis du Sud a couple of days after an earthquake hit Haiti, and shortly before tropical depression Grace hit the country.
Houses, hotels and churches could be seen completely destroyed as the storm could hamper rescue and assistant efforts.
“Our problem is that the earthquake demolished several houses, not all people have space to sleep,” a local said.
“We want the person in charge of the city to bring us tents because the population can not leave without support in the streets of the city,” he added.
Heavy rains were expected by the US hurricane centre on Haiti’s south coast from Monday evening.
According to the latest information from the Haitian Civil Defence, at least 1297 people died in the magnitude 7.2 earthquake, with many still missing.
