At least 70 people, including 10 women and three infants, were killed in a gang attack in Pont-Sondé, a small town about 60 miles north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. According to the U.N. human rights office, the attack also left 16 others injured as gang members torched homes and vehicles, forcing residents to flee.
The assault highlights escalating gang violence in the country, particularly in the agricultural Artibonite region, which has experienced increasing instability as chaos spills over from the capital.
