Around 40 killed in gang attack in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince

Around 40 people have been killed in an attack carried out by a criminal gang in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, on Sunday evening.

The search operation is still ongoing. Some people are still missing, Mayor Massillon Jean told AFP on Monday, describing the incident as "a night of terror."

The city has been plagued by gang violence for several months, and in June this year, the UN migration agency IOM said that almost one and a half million people were displaced across the country as a whole.
