In Haiti, armed gangs attack cultural and educational buildings. The violence ravaging Port-au-Prince forced more than 53,000 people to flee the capital between March 8 and 27, mostly because of gangs.
The population is facing a serious humanitarian crisis, with shortages of food, medicine and other basic goods. A “cataclysmic” situation has alerted the UN, with 1,554 killed during the first three months of 2024, deploring that “porous borders” facilitate the supply of gangs with weapons and ammunition.
