At least 70 people have been killed and around 30 others wounded in a gang massacre in Haiti on March 31, 2026, according to rights groups, as violence continues to escalate in the country.
The attack reportedly took place in an area controlled by armed groups, with victims including civilians caught in the violence. Rights organizations said the massacre reflects the worsening security situation in Haiti, where gangs have expanded their control over large parts of the capital and surrounding regions. Authorities have struggled to contain the violence, with limited resources and ongoing political instability complicating efforts to restore order.
The latest killings add to a growing toll of deaths linked to gang activity, which has displaced thousands of people and left many communities without access to basic services. International organizations have repeatedly warned about the deteriorating humanitarian and security crisis in Haiti, calling for increased support and intervention to address the escalating violence.
