"Massive Jailbreak: Armed Gangs Free Thousands in Haiti's Main Prison"

TL;DR
Armed gangs stormed Haiti's main prison, leading to a mass jailbreak with hundreds of inmates fleeing and at least five people dead. The violence is part of a surge in coordinated attacks by gangs in Port-au-Prince, as the embattled Prime Minister Ariel Henry seeks support for a UN-backed security force. The chaos follows a series of violent protests and delays in holding parliamentary and presidential elections, with gangs controlling much of the capital and claiming responsibility for the attacks.
