More than 1,100 Killed in Haiti in Three Months, U.N. Report Says
The UN said gangs caused more than 45% of killings and injuries as security operations and retaliatory attacks drove the violence.
- On Wednesday, the United Nations reported at least 1,167 people were killed and 459 injured in Haiti between July and September 2026. The UN Integrated Office in Haiti documented these figures as violence spread across the country.
- Gang violence has expanded beyond established strongholds into areas like Kenscoff, while members pushed out of Bel Air and La Saline earlier this year returned to commit new abuses. These territorial shifts drove the surge in killings.
- Documented abuses include 344 victims of gang-perpetrated sexual violence, with 77 per cent involving gang rape. The Haitian National Police faced 44 documented cases of extrajudicial executions, while drone attacks killed at least four people, including two children.
- Special Representative Carlos Ruiz Massieu, of the UN Secretary-General's office in Haiti, urged strengthening state protection mechanisms and accelerated deployment of the Gang Suppression Force. He emphasized the absolute need to restore security in recently liberated areas.
- Haiti's instability, situated roughly 700 miles from Miami, continues to shape United States migration and security policy debates. The country awaits full deployment of the Gang Suppression Force to curb ongoing violence affecting regional stability.
