BERLIN - Several Haitian ministers and leading politicians were victims of Tuesday’s 7.0-magnitude earthquake in the Caribbean nation, Jean-Robert Saget, Haiti’s ambassador to Germany, told DPA Friday.
The dead include Justice Minister Paul Denis and opposition politician Michel Gaillard, Saget said.
“I know that multiple ministers are dead, certainly Justice Minister Paul Denis was,” he said.
The temblor, which had its epicentre about 15 km southwest of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, may have killed more than 100,000 people in the impoverished nation.
