Haiti - FLASH : Gang atrocities on the population, the number of victims on the rise (partial report)
On Friday, the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) expressed in a statement the deep concern of the United Nations because of the rapid deterioration of the security situation and human rights in the metropolitan area caused by the violents clashes between gangs in the communes of Croix-des-Bouquets, Tabarre and Cité Soleil.

The BINUH revises upwards the toll of civilian victims of armed clashes indicating their number now stands at 143, including "75 dead including women and children and 68 wounded" (provisional report)

Regarding access to the main national roads linking the capital to the North and the South, the BINUH stresses that they "are difficult to pass through, which has a strong impact on the movement of people and goods throughout the territory, and could at term have devastating effects on the socio-economic stability of the country [...]"

Furthermore, the UN Office indicates that "[...] Several local actors report that gangs act with extreme violence in their clashes with members of rival groups. They also reportedly use acts of sexual violence, including the gang rape of children as young as 10, to terrorize and intimidate local people living in areas controlled by rival gangs.

In addition, alarming reports indicate that children have been recruited into gangs and that several of them have been killed [...] five people were allegedly burned to death during incidents in Cité Soleil [...]"
