Haiti receives nearly 200,000 forced deportees, UN says after brutal gang killing
- Nearly 200,000 people were forcibly returned to Haiti in the first eight months of this year — about 20,000 more than the same period last year.
- A brutal gang attack near Port-au-Prince killed roughly 47 people, including children, with homes burned and some victims attacked inside a church.
- The U.N. is pressing to renew and scale up a multinational "Gang Suppression Force" (targeting 5,500 troops) as countries like Chad, Mongolia and Ivory Coast pledge support.
