US: Flaws in death toll report on Haiti quake
Flaws have been found in a controversial US report estimating the death toll from Haiti's earthquake last year was far lower than previously thought, a US official said Friday.
Mark Feierstein of the US Agency for International Development said the report is problematic because the authors used a statistical sampling that was not representative. The study didn't include data from heavily damaged areas in Haiti's countryside or from the number of houses that collapsed and killed people, he said. (AP)
