PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—A tanker truck carrying gasoline in Haiti on Saturday flipped and exploded, killing at least 17 people and seriously injuring 30 others, Radio Caraibes reported. Haitian officials couldn’t be reached for comment.
Haiti’s hospitals are poorly equipped to treat victims of severe burns. The nation of 12 million people has also been struggling with fuel shortages, as fighting between gangs makes it more difficult to import goods into the country.
