The death toll from a powerful earthquake that struck southwest Haiti on Saturday morning has climbed to 1,941, the Caribbean island's Civil Protection Agency reported on Tuesday.
More than 9,900 people were injured in the 7.2-magnitude quake.
Heavy rain from Tropical Storm Grace forced a temporary halt to the rescue operations.
Rescuers are racing against time to find more survivors, but the lack of equipment may hamper their efforts.
Local NGOs call for more rescue help. Food, drinking water, tents and first aid are needed most.
