"Haiti's Health System Struggles Amid Gang Violence and Unrest"

Gang violence in Haiti, particularly in the capital, Port-au-Prince, has led to the closure or limited operation of more than half of the city's medical facilities, leaving the already weak healthcare system in tatters. Hospitals and clinics have been looted by gangs or abandoned by staff, making it too dangerous for people in need of care to reach them. This has put thousands of lives at risk, especially in a country where up to one million people are facing the threat of famine.
