The office noted that at least 10 people are seriously injured, with local media reporting they were hospitalized.

The office said Haiti’s civil protection agency and the Red Cross were the first responders and are evaluating the damage.

The civil protection agency said heavy rain is expected for most of Haiti, including the area hit by the tornado, warning of possible flooding and landslides.
