Gran Grif gang members attacked the small town of Pont-Sondé early Thursday, killing more than 70 people, including children, according to a human rights group.
Another 60 people were injured as the gang burned homes and cars in the town, said Bertide Harace, spokeswoman for the Commission for Dialogue, Reconciliation and Awareness to Save the Artibonite.
A video posted on social media shows a group of people fleeing through the brush, with one woman who was out of breath saying, “Nowhere to go.
Nowhere to go.” In another video, dozens of people start running through a street after hearing rumors that the gang was approaching.
