At least 47 killed, 22 wounded in overnight Haiti gang attack

At least 47 people were killed and 22 injured in an overnight gang raid on a displaced persons camp housed in a church in Kenscoff, Haiti, according to a report by Peoples Gazette.

The attack, which began around 10:30 p.m. Sunday, saw armed men execute victims and abduct others, local officials said. Haiti’s Prime Minister condemned the assault and vowed reinforcements would restore government authority.

The community, which has faced repeated attacks since 2025, is demanding the police chief’s resignation. Gangs control roughly 70% of Port-au-Prince, with UN figures showing over 1.5 million people displaced by ongoing violence nationwide.
