Haiti Gang Attack Death Toll Climbs to 115

The massacre in Pont-Sondé highlights escalating gang violence in Haiti's Artibonite region, displacing thousands.

The Gran Grif gang attacked the town of Pont-Sondé on October 3, resulting in at least 115 deaths, with numbers expected to rise.
Victims included a wide range of ages, from infants to the elderly, caught by surprise as gang members arrived by canoe.
Over 6,200 survivors have fled to nearby areas, with many seeking refuge in Saint-Marc, where resources are strained.
The attack was reportedly in retaliation against local self-defense efforts to curb gang activity and block a road toll imposed by the gang.
The Gran Grif gang, led by Luckson Elan and linked to former legislator Prophane Victor, has been sanctioned by the U.S. and U.N. for its criminal activities.
