Hundreds displaced and medical services halted due to gang violence in Haiti

Doctors Without Borders has suspended operations at hospitals in Haiti’s capital due to escalating gang violence, which has displaced hundreds of residents. Approximately 800 people sought refuge in the organization’s hospital in Cite Soleil before the suspension. The group highlighted ongoing safety concerns after a security guard was injured by gunfire, leaving no hospitals operational in the conflict-affected area. Efforts to restore order have largely been ineffective, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
