Summary

At least 11 people were killed in Haiti's Artibonite region, including the central area of Gros-Morne, in a gang retaliation attack following a UN-backed Gang Suppression Force operation. The GSF operation targeted illegal toll points set up by the Kokorat San Ras gang and resulted in three gang member deaths. In retaliation, gang members attacked residents, killing civilians and burning homes. One report indicates the total death toll may have been 14, including the three gang members killed in the initial operation. Victims included members of at least one family caught in crossfire while traveling to seek medical care. The UN Secretary-General condemned the attack and called for stronger security efforts. The GSF's mandate was set to expire following a UN Security Council vote scheduled for that week.
