At Least 70 Killed in Haitian Gang Attack

The Haitian government has deployed specialist anti-gang police units in response to a massacre in Pont Sonde, where at least 70 people were killed by the Gran Grif gang. The United Nations confirmed that the victims included women and infants, with reports of bodies found with gunshot wounds to the head. In total, at least 16 individuals were seriously injured, and gang members set fire to numerous homes and vehicles during the attack. This incident highlights the escalating violence in Haiti, where over 3,600 people have died from gang-related violence this year. The U.N. has called for a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible, as the country faces significant security and humanitarian crises. A multinational policing mission, led by Kenya, is currently in place to assist local authorities in restoring order.
