WASHINGTON: The death toll in the Haiti quake could top 100,000, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told a US news channel Wednesday.
The final death toll could be "well over 100,000," the prime minister told the US television channel after his Caribbean nation was struck Tuesday by a 7.0 quake.
"I hope that is not true, because I hope the people had the time to get out. Because we have so much people on the streets right now, we don't know exactly where they were living.
"But so many, so many buildings, so many neighborhoods totally destroyed, and some neighborhoods we don't even see people, so I don't know where those people are."
