Gang round Terror in Haiti: Fatal attack on hospital!

in Port-Au-Prince, the capital Haitis, has occurred in a tragic incident in a hospital. Alleged gang members opened the fire to the city's largest hospital, the General Hospital of the State University of Haitis. At least three people were killed in this attack, including two journalists and a police officer who took part in an event for the planned reopening of the hospital.

violence in Haiti escalated

The transitional government Haitis condemned the attack on the hospital as a "unacceptable act of aggression". The incident is only the youngest in a number of attacks that endanger security in the capital. Haiti has been suffering from the violence of powerful gangs for years that control large parts of Port-Au-Prince. In the meantime, the number of violent incidents remains alarming: Between December 6th and 11th alone, 207 people were killed in a different district, Cité Soleil, through gang attacks, as can be seen from a UN report.

The situation is tightened by the inability of an international security mission under Kenyan leadership, which has been in use in Haiti since June to ensure security. The clinic was already closed due to the ongoing violence, and the citizens are increasingly seeking themselves against the growing threat from the gangs. This new wave of violence shows significant traces and reinforces the humanitarian crisis that the population struggles with.
