The severe weather in this region of the Caribbean has also affected Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, where one person died in floods earlier this week.
In Haiti, the worst affected areas are Grande-Rivière-du-Nord, Limonade, Limbé and Dondon, according to local authorities.
Haiti government departments are organising temporary accommodation and distributing food, bedding and water purification tablets. Authorities have also warned of possible further flooding along rivers, and potential landslides.
