More than 1,900 people are now reported dead after a powerful earthquake hit Haiti this weekend.

Rescue efforts on the island nation have resumed.

They had to be paused because of a tropical storm passing through.

U.S. Crews say they are helping people who may be trapped or need help getting to a safe location.

A U.S. aid administrator said the agency is also looking to bring supplies to people.
