Summary
A weekend massacre that killed 47 people underscored how little security Haiti has regained a year after a U.N.-backed force was approved to help restore order.
Gangs still dominate parts of the country, leaving Haiti deeply lawless despite the mission that was meant to stabilize the island.
The violence also frames U.S. deportations sharply: 170 Haitians were flown back to Haiti just days before the killings.
In Kenscoff near Port-au-Prince, the same attack was earlier reported to have included more than 50 kidnappings and the displacement of over 2,600 people, highlighting the widening humanitarian toll.
