Haitian migrants dead after a voodoo ritual sets their boat ablaze. Read the full story on this tragic incident.
At least 40 migrants have died after a boat they were traveling in caught fire off the northern coast of Haiti, a UN agency said Friday, with police saying the explosion was sparked by a voodoo ritual gone wrong.
"This devastating event highlights the risks faced by children, women and men migrating through irregular routes," said Gregoire Goodstein, IOM's chief of mission in the country. Migration from the poorest country in the Americas has been surging for months, as thousands of people flee a spike in violence from criminal gangs that now control wide swaths of territory.
Hundreds of police officers from Kenya have been deployed in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince, part of an international effort to bring stability to a country riven by political, social and economic chaos. As the pace of emigration grows, Haitian Coast Guard units in the north have observed an increasing number of departures by boat, the IOM said.
