Haiti's gangs have made advances in Port-au-Prince, a UN official reported Thursday, with conditions in the capital worsening as talks drag on to form a transition government in the troubled Caribbean nation.
Addressing a news conference from Haiti via videolink, Ulrika Richardson, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the country, said daily life had become defined by roadblocks and the sound of gunshots, describing "enormous" amounts of people displaced as gangs "take over" neighborhoods in the city.
