Rampant gang violence in Port-au-Prince has triggered the exodus of tens of thousands of people from the Haitian capital where Friday charred bodies lay in the streets and residents battled a growing food security crisis.
Following the latest clashes between police and heavily armed gangs, an AFP correspondent saw several bodies in the city center and in the suburb of Delmas. A resident told AFP he had seen more dead lying in another suburb, Petion-Ville.
