The northern Haitian city of Gonaives is seen flooded on September 19, 2004 after Hurricane Jeanne passed through. More than 300 people died in Haiti from flooding and mudslides triggered by Tropical Storm Jeanne, according to aid workers who said half of the northern city of Gonaives was still underwater. U. N. peacekeepers had unconfirmed reports of another 150 dead in Gonaives, said U. N. coordinator Adama Guindo. The northern city was the birthplace of Haiti's independence from France 200 years ago and it was where an armed revolt began this year that led to the ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Forty-seven people were also confirmed killed in the northwest province, around the town of Port-de- Paix, said Henry Max Thelus, a government official. Eight deaths were recorded elsewhere, bringing the total confirmed toll to 305. (MANDATORY CREDIT, EDITORIAL USE ONLY) REUTERS/ HO/UN/MINUSTAH photo by Sophia Paris
