Haitian Gang Massacre Leaves Nearly 200 Dead in Port-au-Prince

A gang leader targeted elderly residents, accusing them of witchcraft, as Haiti faces escalating violence and political instability.

At least 184 people, primarily elderly residents, were killed in Port-au-Prince's Cité Soleil neighborhood over the weekend in an attack ordered by gang leader Jean Monel Felix.
Felix reportedly accused the victims of using witchcraft to harm his child, leading to their execution and the burning of bodies, according to human rights groups and the UN.
Gang violence has displaced over 700,000 Haitians this year, with more than 5,000 killed, as gangs control 80 percent of the capital city.
The UN and human rights organizations have called for stronger international intervention, citing the inability of the Kenyan-led police mission to curb the violence effectively.
The U.S. continues deportation flights to Haiti despite the deteriorating security situation, drawing criticism from human rights advocates.
