Gang attack on Haiti displacement camp kills 40, wounds 70

A gang attack on a displacement camp in Haiti resulted in 40 deaths and 70 injuries, according to reports.

The assault was carried out by armed gang members against refugees sheltering at the camp. Authorities said the attack was motivated by allegations that several refugees who had previously been gang members were cooperating with police and identifying gang leaders to law enforcement.

The camp housed displaced persons who had fled violence in other areas. The attack represents a significant escalation of gang violence affecting vulnerable populations already displaced by insecurity in the country.

No additional details regarding the specific location, timing, or response by authorities were available in the reports.
