Flooding unleashed in Haiti by tropical storm Jeanne is feared to have killed more than 2,000 people, the mayor of a badly-hit city has said.
Calixte Valentin, mayor of Gonaives, said bodies were still being found, 10 days after the storm.
The United Nations has warned that the situation in the city is "critical".
Relief workers say food is still not getting to people quickly enough, amid problems with security and logistical problems caused by the storm.
The official death toll from the flooding is at least 1,514 across the island, but more than 900 people are still unaccounted for.
"It's sad but true that the missing will slowly be started to be counted among the dead," said Brazilian Army Gen Augusto Heleno Ribeiro Pereira, in charge of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Haiti.
