Gang violence forces hundreds to flee in Haiti

Residents of Cite Soleil in Port-au-Prince are protesting for government protection following a surge in gang violence that has displaced hundreds. Protesters report recent killings, while Haitian authorities have not confirmed casualties. Armed gangs control approximately 70 percent of the capital, exacerbating the crisis as medical services, including hospitals, suspend operations due to violence.
