Rescue teams in Haiti said on Friday that they had found the bodies of two men killed after a sandpit collapsed on them on Thursday.
The incident occurred less than 72 hours after the authorities had announced that sand mining operations had been prohibited in the Morne à Cabri area because “of the anarchic exploitation” of sand quarries.
The National Police of Haiti (PNH), firefighters and volunteers of the Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC) said they had recovered the two bodies and that the search is continuing for a third man after the operations had been suspended due to the high risk of further rock fall.
