Haiti: Increased surveillance in Kenscoff after gang attack that left 47 dead

The Haitian police have increased their presence in Kenscoff following a gang attack that resulted in 47 deaths and the abduction of over 50 individuals. On August 23, around 150 armed gang members stormed localities near downtown, killing at least 13 people and pursuing residents who sought refuge in a church. The national police are facing growing criticism for their failure to prevent this violence in what was once a peaceful agricultural community.
