TL;DR

Gang violence in Haiti's capital has spilled into wealthy areas, leaving at least a dozen dead and raising concerns about the ongoing turmoil despite the prime minister's resignation announcement. The attacks have led to looting, destruction of power infrastructure, and a government-chartered flight evacuating US citizens. Political coalitions are vying for power, while the deployment of a UN-backed police force has been delayed. Haiti's government has extended a night-time curfew in an effort to curb the relentless violence.
