In a slum in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, hundreds of people have become victims of rampant gang crime within ten days, according to the UN. More than 471 people were killed, injured or missing in the Cité Soleil district between July 8 and 17, the UN said on Monday.

Serious cases of sexual violence and recruitment of boys by the gangs have also been reported. 3000 residents had to flee from the gang violence.
