"PORT-AU-PRINCE -- The toll of dead and missing from devastating floods in
Haiti rose to more than 2,700 as protesters armed with machetes and rocks
demonstrated in the capital yesterday to demand the return of ousted
president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, chanting "Aristide or death."

As rescuers discovered dozens of new bodies in storm debris, the official
count rose to 1,870 bodies recovered from the floods and mudslides
unleashed by tropical storm Jeanne.

Officials said at least 884 were reported missing, most in and around the
northwestern city of Gonaïves. More than two weeks after the floods,
officials say most of the missing are presumed dead.

Last week, U.S. President George W. Bush asked Congress for $50-million
(U.S.) for storm-hit Caribbean countries, about half planned for Haiti."
