Officials said many killed at popular tourist site were young, with more people reported injured or missing

At least 30 people, many of them young, have died and dozens more are reported to have been injured after a crush at a mountaintop fortress in northern Haiti that is a popular tourist spot.

Jean Henri Petit, the head of civil protection for the country's Nord department, said the incident took place on Saturday at Citadelle Henry - also known as Citadelle Laferriere - a large 19th-century fortress built shortly after the Caribbean country's independence from France, which was packed with students and visitors.
