HIGHLIGHTS At least 12 fatalities have been reported in Saint-Louis-du-Nord, along with several injured people, including one critically injured person currently hospitalized, confirming the severe human impact of the flooding. The Ti-Rivière bridge has been destroyed, and several departmental roads remain impassable, disrupting transport and limiting access to affected areas in Saint-Louis-du-Nord and Anse-à-Foleur. More than 1,000 houses have been flooded across several localities, notably in Bas Voeux-Jour and Port-de-Paix, triggering household displacement to safer areas. Essential services have been severely affected, including a hospital that is flooded and damaged, while school and commercial activities are suspended in the most impacted communes. Several rivers remain swollen, and rainfall continues, maintaining a high risk of further deterioration and additional humanitarian impacts in the short term. SITUATION OVERVIEW According to information provided by the General Directorate of Civil Protection (DGPC), heavy rainfall recorded between 11 and 13 April 2026, followed by additional precipitation on 14 April, caused major flooding in several communes of the North-West Department, notably Port-de-Paix, Saint-Louis-du-Nord and Anse-à-Foleur. The rainfall affected areas that are already structurally vulnerable, particularly Bas Voeux-Jour, where communities are regularly exposed to flooding even during moderate rainfall. Several rivers remain above normal levels, sustaining a high risk of renewed flooding. The DGPC reports at least 12 deaths, mainly in the 1st, 3rd and 4th communal sections of Saint-Louis-du-Nord, as well as multiple injuries, including one critically injured person hospitalized in Saint-Louis-du-Nord and one injured person reported in the town centre of Anse-à-Foleur. Material damage is extensive, with hundreds of houses flooded in several localities, including Bas Voeux-Jour, Port-de-Paix, Vilaceau and Nan Fige, as well as more than 100 houses affected in Saint-Louis-du-Nord during the initial rainfall episodes. Critical infrastructure has been impacted, including the Austrian Hospital, which is flooded and damaged, places of worship, as well as several bridges and major road axes. The destruction of the Ti-Rivière bridge and the deterioration of the Bas Voeux-Jour bridge have rendered some areas difficult to access, disrupting traffic and response capacity.
