"It was not clear if any lives were lost in the island of La Tortue - which was barely visible under the water, according to UN officials.

But Dieufort Deslorges, a spokesman for Haiti's civil protection agency, said the government had been in contact with officials on La Tortue and "nothing happened there".

Haiti's interim Prime Minister Gerard Latortue has called for international help, describing the flooded area as "a vast sea"."

Little confusing. But sounds like it's still there.
