According to the Haitian newspaper "Le Nouvelliste" reported on the 11th, a stampede occurred at a famous tourist spot in the northern part of the country, resulting in at least 30 deaths. The report quoted the director of the Civil Protection Office in northern Haiti as saying that a large number of tourists gathered at the Citadel of Laferrire in northern Haiti on the 11th to participate in traditional celebrations. Due to the organizers only opening one entrance to control the crowd, the tourists quickly became congested. Conflict erupted between the crowd trying to leave and enter, resulting in the stampede. The report said that the stampede has caused at least 30 deaths, with dozens more injured and taken to the hospital. As many people are still missing, the death toll may rise.
