Haiti Mourners Bury Victims of Kenscoff Massacre Amid Flight Ban Extension
Funerals were held Wednesday in Kenscoff for victims of the August 23 gang massacre that killed 47 residents. Mourners blame police negligence for the attack by the Viv Ansanm coalition, which is now designated as a terrorist organization. Concurrently, the US FAA extended its ban on flights to Port-au-Prince until at least September 8, citing the "dire" security situation and recent attacks on commercial aircraft. The UN reports over 10,000 people were displaced in the capital this week alone.
