The gang members, armed with automatic weapons, stormed into the small town of Pont-Sondé in central Haiti at around 3 a.m. on Thursday.

Then they started setting houses on fire.“As people rushed out of their houses, they were shot,” said Ravina Shamdasani, chief spokeswoman for the United Nations Human Rights Office.

When the violence ended, at least 70 people — including 10 women and three infants — were dead, while hundreds of others ran for their lives, the U.N. office said in a statement.

    In this case I don’t think these people are fighting off genocidal invaders, so they probably won’t get the same support as hamas.

      Hamas isn’t fighting off shit. Do you mean Palestine?

      Don’t mix innocent men, women, and children with dogs attempting to ignite a holy war to spread their hate across the globe.
