Haiti Stampede Kills Dozens

Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé confirmed that many of the victims were young people attending a popular tourist event.

Heavy rainfall and overcrowding are believed to have contributed to the chaos at the 19th-century fortress.

Emergency responders struggled to reach the remote location, and officials warn the death toll may continue to rise as more injured are treated.

The government has offered condolences to the families and launched an investigation into the safety protocols at the site.
