Haiti stampede kills 30

A festive gathering at one of Haiti's most iconic landmarks turned into a scene of horror as a massive stampede claimed the lives of at least 30 people.

The incident took place at the 19th-century Citadelle Laferrière, where large crowds had gathered for an annual celebration.

Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé confirmed that many of the victims were students and young tourists.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the panic as the nation grapples with this tragedy amid ongoing social and economic instability.
