AI Article: Perplexity Google Lens
A gang attack on the farming community of Kenscoff, near Port-au-Prince, has left at least 30 people dead, with families searching for missing relatives amid scenes of grief. Haiti's prime minister has condemned the assault and ordered security reinforcements, but gangs already dominate much of the capital and their influence is spreading further into surrounding areas. The UN says 1.5 million people have been displaced by gang violence nationwide, with more than 3,100 killed in the first six months of the year alone.
