Haiti saw nearly 200,000 individuals forcibly repatriated during the initial eight months of this year, an increase of 20,000 compared to the corresponding period last year. A UN official told the Security Council on Friday that gang violence and deportations are intensifying. A brutal gang attack near the capital killed 47 people, including five children, days before.
