Haiti Faces Escalating Violence After Deadly Gang Attack

In a harrowing incident in Haiti, a gang attack in the town of Pont-Sondé has resulted in the deaths of at least 70 people, including infants, and has forced over 6,000 residents to flee their homes. The United Nations reported the rising death toll and expressed horror at the brutality of the violence. The massacre has prompted Haitian Prime Minister to seek international support, particularly from Kenya, as local archbishop warns that the population is fed up with the persistent gang violence. Calls for urgent reinforcement of security forces to combat rampant gang activities have intensified as the nation grapples with a worsening humanitarian crisis.
