PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- The death toll from Hurricane Lili grew to 12 after Haitian authorities reported that four people were killed when the storm hit the island more than a week ago.

Two people died in mudslides and the other two drowned when Lili's outer rainbands dumped torrential rain on Haiti's south coast on Sept. 27, the National Civil Defense Bureau reported. At the time, Lili was a tropical storm.

Seven people were killed when Lili hit Jamaica and St. Vincent, and another person died when Lili passed over Cuba as a hurricane on its way to Louisiana's coast, where it weakened significantly Friday.

The storm destroyed 240 homes in Haiti and damaged 1,160, said defense bureau spokeswoman Alta Jean-Baptiste. There was also considerable damage to livestock and fields, she said.

The Haitian government, which had not previously reported any fatalities or major damage, said it took a week for officials to reach remote areas of the country, one of the poorest in the world, and return with the details.
