PORT-AU-PRINCE - At least 30 people were killed on Saturday in a stampede in the northern countryside of Haiti, authorities said, warning that the death toll could rise.

Jean Henri Petit, ⁠head of Civil Protection for Haiti's Nord Department said the stampede occurred at the Laferriere Citadel, an early-19th-century fortress built shortly after Haiti's independence from France.

One of Haiti's ‌most ⁠popular tourist attractions, the fortess was packed with students and visitors on Saturday who had ⁠come to participate in the annual celebration of the UNESCO World ⁠Heritage site.
