At least 30 people, many of them young, have died and dozens more are reported to have been injured after a crush at a mountaintop fortress in northern Haiti that is a popular tourist spot.
Jean Henri Petit, the head of civil protection for the country’s Nord department, said the incident took place on Saturday at Citadelle Henry – also known as Citadelle Laferrière – a large 19th-century fortress built shortly after the Caribbean country’s independence from France, which was packed with students and visitors.
