More than 50 kidnapped and 47 killed in violent gang attack in Haiti, UN says
It is believed to be one of the largest mass kidnappings in Haiti in recent years, and one gang leader is threatening to kill the hostages if authorities kill any gang members as they try to secure the community nestled in the hills above Port-au-Prince.
Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack on Tuesday, stating that "The relentless gang attacks on communities and the loss of lives underscore the alarming security conditions in Haiti".
At least 47 people were killed, and more than 50 others were kidnapped after armed men attacked a once-peaceful community near Haiti's capital earlier this week, the United Nations said Tuesday.
