At least 264 suspected gang members in Haiti have been killed by vigilante groups since April, the UN representative in the violence-wracked country says, voicing concern at the trend. "The appearance of vigilante groups adds another layer of complexity. Since April, BINUH (United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti) has documented the killing of at least 264 alleged gang members by vigilante groups," Maria Isabel Salvador tells the Security Council.

More than 600 people were killed last month in violence in the capital of Haiti, which is in the grip of a political-economic crisis, the United Nations says. "In the month of April alone, more than 600 people were killed in a new wave of extreme violence that hit several districts across the capital," says the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Gang violence in strife-torn Haiti is expanding at "an alarming rate" in areas previously considered quite safe, the UN envoy to the country tells a Security Council meeting. "The horrific violence in gang-ridden areas, including sexual violence, particularly against women and girls, is emblematic of the terror afflicting much of Haiti's population," says Maria Isabel Salvador.
