Haiti's government acknowledged the massacre, reporting over 100 killed in Cite Soleil, and vowed to bring justice for 'this unspeakable carnage.' Volker Turk, U.N. human rights commissioner, mentioned at least 184 were killed, but sources for this number were unclear.
Local rights groups estimate varying death tolls, with the Cooperative for Peace and Development citing at least 20 older victims while others note claims of over 100 total.
The uncertainty surrounding the death toll and lack of clarity on the facts post-massacre highlight the strong grip gangs have on the population. This is a worrying trend in a country rife with gang violence.
The National Human Rights Defense Network reported at least 110 killed in just two days, indicating a pervasive issue of lawlessness fueled by gang control.
