GONAIVES (HAITI), SEPT. 22. Bodies remained in the streets and in growing piles outside morgues as U.N. peacekeepers planned the first major distribution of food and water today in this city devastated by floods that have torn apart families and left hungry crowds that have mobbed truckloads of aid. The toll from deluges unleashed by Tropical Storm Jeanne climbed to the more than 700, officials said yesterday, with more than 600 of them in Gonaives alone. More than 1,000 others were declared missing. Jeanne, meanwhile, regained hurricane strength over the open Atlantic this week and could head back toward the U.S. as early as this weekend, forecasters said today. Dieufort Deslorges, spokesman for Haiti's civil protection agency, said he expected the toll to rise as reports come in from outlying villages and rescuers dig through mudslips and rubble. AP
