Ja: More Haitian refugees land in Jamaica

TWENTY-FOUR HAITIAN boat people, men, women, and a six-month-old girl, hungry and dehydrated, landed in eastern Portland, yesterday.

Four more Haitians were rescued by fishermen near the Flamegos Bank, Manchioneal, yesterday, the police said.

Describing their homeland as a crime-ravaged battleground, the group of Haitians, which included an eight-year-old boy and a pregnant woman, said they left Haiti for Jamaica in the dead of night on Friday, after family members and friends were slain.
