Haitians fly kites for Easter despite rising gang violence

Residents in Haiti have taken an apparent break from the violence during Easter. Children and adults created and flew coloured paper kites. The tradition is akin to the practice of painting eggs in some Western countries. Haiti is dealing with escalating gang violence, which has killed more than 1,500 people this year. The gangs leading the violence are estimated to be in control of about 80 per cent of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
