Hundreds Attend Funeral in Haiti for 4 Victims of Brutal Gang Attack that Killed 47
- On Friday, UNICEF announced that a gang released six children and seven women who were among more than 50 people kidnapped during a deadly attack on Kenscoff, Haiti, nearly a week ago.
- Gangs killed at least 47 people during the late Sunday attack on Kenscoff, a once-peaceful farming community nestled in the hills above Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital.
- The gang leader Izo had threatened to execute all hostages if police intervened, prompting UNICEF to work with community leaders to help secure the release.
- "This release offers a rare moment of hope amid the violence threatening children in Haiti," said Yannig Dussart, UNICEF's deputy representative in Haiti, though medical needs remain unclear.
- While individual kidnappings are commonplace in Haiti, mass abductions like Kenscoff remain a stark reminder of the scale and frequency of attacks on children across the country.
