United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Saturday strongly condemned the reported killing of at least 40 people during an armed gang assault on a fishing village north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital.
The attack marks one of the deadliest incidents in the country’s escalating security crisis, as gang violence continues to destabilize communities and overwhelm local authorities. The Secretary-General expressed deep concern over the loss of life and reiterated the UN’s call for urgent international support to restore order and protect civilians.
Haiti has faced a surge in gang-related violence in recent months, with armed groups expanding control over key areas, displacing thousands, and disrupting access to essential services. The UN continues to advocate for coordinated efforts to strengthen security, uphold human rights, and address the country’s humanitarian needs.
