A gang in Haiti releases some of the people it kidnapped after a deadly attack on a community near Port-au-Prince nearly a week ago. Multiple outlets report that UNICEF says six children and seven women are among those freed. The kidnapping is described as involving more than 50 people, following the initial assault.
The reports cite UNICEF as the source for the release figures and describe the timing as late Friday, with the attack occurring about a week earlier. Most coverage focuses on who was released—six children and seven women—and the broader scale of the kidnapping. One outlet specifies that among the children are three under age 2, a 7-year-old, and two teenage girls, adding detail to UNICEF’s account. Other outlets repeat the UNICEF numbers without listing all ages.
Across sources, there is general agreement on the core facts: a gang kidnaps more than 50 people, launches an attack near Haiti’s capital that leaves many dead, and later releases part of the captives, including women and children.
