Haiti: the Barbancourt foundation suspends its social activities due to gang violence. Clashes between rival gangs in Plaine du Cul-du-Sac, north of the Haitian capital, forced the foundation to suspend its activities.

Residents of neighboring areas will not be able to benefit from the activities of its foundation. They will not have access to free treated water, free medical care center, use of playgrounds, football and basketball fields. Alcohol production was not affected, said a press release from the rum factory founded 160 years ago.
