Brutal Gang Attack in Haitis Artibonite Region Leaves at Least Sixteen Dead and Ten Injured

In a shocking turn of events, the Gran Grif gang carried out a violent attack in Petite-Riviere, Haitis Artibonite region, resulting in at least sixteen fatalities and ten injuries. The incident follows UN reports of over two thousand people displaced by gang raids in nearby Verrettes, causing residents in Petite-Riviere to seek shelter.

Artibonite has become a hotspot for escalating violence as gang wars spill out from Port-au-Prince, threatening this crucial farming zone. The US has offered a reward of up to three million dollars for information on Gran Grif and Viv Ansanm money trails, labeling these gang coalitions as terrorist groups.

Haitian forces, supported by UN missions and a US security firm, have intensified operations in the capital, but no top gang leaders have been apprehended. The ongoing violence has displaced over a million people nationwide, led to severe food shortages, and resulted in nearly twenty thousand deaths since 2021, with the death toll continuing to rise.
