US EditionRights Group: Haiti Gang Attack Kills At Least 70
Rights groups said the gang attack burned about 50 homes and displaced nearly 6,000 residents as police struggled to verify the death toll.
- On March 28–30, armed Gran Grif gang members attacked Jean-Denis in Petite-Riviere, Artibonite, burning homes and setting roadblocks that forced nearly 6,000 people to flee.
- The United States designated Gran Grif and Viv Ansanm as Foreign Terrorist Organizations last year, citing them as "the primary source of instability and violence in Haiti."
- Police confirmed 16 fatalities, though rights group Defenders Plus reported at least 70 people killed, with gang control of the area hindering verification efforts.
- United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric condemned the violence, while advocacy groups criticized the delayed police response and "abandonment of Artibonite to armed groups."
- More than 1.4 million Haitians have been displaced by gang violence, and this massacre threatens the Artibonite region's agricultural output, intensifying calls for sustained international security intervention.
