Over the weekend, at least 184 individuals were killed in a crowded slum in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as part of retaliatory violence orchestrated by a powerful gang leader. The attacks were reportedly ordered by Monel ‘Mikano’ Félix in response to unfounded beliefs about voodoo curses affecting his family. The United Nations and the Haitian Prime Minister condemned the brutal slaughter, which included many vulnerable elderly victims. The ongoing gang violence in Haiti has risen dramatically, with over 5,000 fatalities reported this year alone.
