New Delhi, April 12 -- A tragic crush at the Citadelle Laferriere in northern Haiti has left at least 30 people dead, many of them young, while dozens of others were reported injured. The historic site is a popular tourist attraction, reported The Guardian.

According to Jean Henri Petit, head of civil protection for the Nord department, the incident occurred on Saturday at the fortress, also known as Citadelle Henry. The 19th-century structure was constructed shortly after Haiti gained independence from France.
