The figure was reported by The Hindu in connection with Mr. Turk’s address to the United Nations Human Rights Council. In his remarks, according to the newspaper, Turk said that Haitian gangs continue to expand.
The figure comprises people killed and injured combined, but The Hindu does not provide a breakdown between the two categories. The number 5,700 should therefore be read as an aggregate total attributed to the UN.
Also according to The Hindu, an international force was deployed with the aim of helping Haitian authorities restore order. The report nevertheless says that the gangs’ expansion has continued.
The available information does not identify the international force or specify its mandate beyond the stated objective of supporting Haitian authorities in restoring order. The report provides no further details on these aspects.
The picture described by The Hindu therefore combines a high human toll, attributed to the United Nations, with a warning that the gangs have continued to expand even after the international force was deployed.
The figure remains tied to the reported source: the available material provides neither a breakdown between deaths and injuries nor additional information to clarify the composition of the toll.
