GANG members attacked a small town in central Haiti on Thursday, killing at least 50 people, including children, according to a human rights group.

Dozens more were injured as the Gran Grif gang burned homes and cars in the town of Pont-Sonde, said Bertide Harace, spokeswoman for the Commission for Dialogue, Reconciliation and Awareness to Save the Artibonite.

“A lot of people ran and left the area,” she told Radio Kiskeya.
