Haiti’s death toll from Tropical Storm Jeanne’s devastating floods rose to 3,006 as government officials released what they believe is the final tally.

The toll has climbed steadily as rescue workers gain access to remote areas and recover bodies buried in mud. Those missing since the floods struck are presumed dead.
