"Haiti's Health System Crumbles Amid Violence and Crisis"
TL;DR
The UN warns that Haiti's health system is on the brink of collapse, with six out of ten hospitals barely operational due to violence, mass displacement, epidemics, and malnutrition. Armed gangs control much of the capital, disrupting supply chains and access to essential medicines. Millions of children are at risk of disease and malnutrition, and the situation is exacerbated by the recent reopening of Port-au-Prince's international airport with limited capacity. Kenya is set to deploy police to help restore stability, but the humanitarian crisis remains dire.
