UN chief condemns mass killing in latest gang attack in Haiti

UNITED NATIONS (CMC) – United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Wednesday condemned the latest gang attack in Haiti that left at least 11 people dead and several others injured in Gros-Morne’s third communal section on Monday.

Among those killed were four members of the same family who were transporting a sick woman to hospital when they were caught in a violent crossfire. Three suspected members of the Kokorat San Ras armed gang were fatally wounded.

Interim Mayor Hubert Cénéac, said the killings followed a confrontation between the Kokorat San Ras gang and a Sri Lankan contingent of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in the nearby Savane Longue communal section.
