In a horrific incident, at least 110 elderly people were brutally murdered by gang members in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.
This shocking act of violence was allegedly carried out in retaliation for the death of a gang leader's son.
A voodoo priest reportedly blamed the boy's illness on "witchcraft" practiced by elderly locals, leading the gang leader to order the massacre.
The United Nations has reported a staggering 5,000 deaths due to gang violence in Haiti this year.
This latest incident, where elderly residents were rounded up and killed, highlights the extreme brutality and lawlessness gripping the country.
The Haitian government struggles to control powerful gangs that control large parts of the capital and beyond.
The ongoing violence has forced hundreds of thousands of Haitians to flee their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis.
The international community is struggling to assist Haiti, with limited success in curbing the violence and restoring order.
