Haiti Gang Attack Displaces Over 6,000 Residents
News summary

In a horrifying surge of violence, the Gran Grif gang massacred at least 70 people in Pont-Sondé, Haiti, leading to the displacement of over 6,000 residents. The attack, which took place in the early hours of Thursday, involved gang members with automatic rifles setting fire to homes and vehicles, leaving bodies strewn across the streets. This massacre, one of the deadliest in recent years, targeted defenseless civilians, including women and infants, in retaliation for past violence against gang members. Prime Minister Garry Conille condemned the attack as an assault on the Haitian nation and reinforced security efforts in the region. The incident underscores the severe gang violence plaguing Haiti, especially as gangs expand control beyond Port-au-Prince, with insufficient international intervention to restore security. The UN has called for accountability and reparations for the victims, as international support efforts, including a Kenya-led force, have yet to effectively curb the violence.
