Gang Attack in Haiti Leaves 115 Dead
News summary

The death toll from a devastating gang attack in the Haitian town of Pont-Sondé has risen to at least 115, with local officials warning that the number may continue to climb as authorities search inaccessible areas. The massacre, which occurred on October 3, was carried out by the Gran Grif gang, notorious for its brutality, leading to widespread condemnation from the Haitian government and international bodies. Over 6,200 people have fled the area, seeking refuge in nearby Saint-Marc, where many are sleeping in public spaces due to a lack of shelter. This incident underscores the escalating violence in Haiti, where gangs control around 80% of Port-au-Prince and have contributed to a broader humanitarian crisis affecting hundreds of thousands. The UN reports that over 3,600 people have been killed in gang violence this year alone, exacerbating an already dire situation for many citizens. As security forces, including a Kenyan-led international mission, attempt to restore order, the fragility of the situation remains evident.
