In a tragic escalation of violence, the Missionaries of Charity convent in Bas Delmas, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, was attacked and burned by an armed group on the night of October 26. The assailants, led by Jimmy Chérizier—infamously known as «Barbecue»—looted the convent and adjoining dispensary before setting the premises ablaze, devastating a mission that has served the local community since its establishment by Mother Teresa in 1979.
