Gunfire erupted once again in downtown Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Tuesday, causing a halt in urgently needed care for thousands of Haitians. The ongoing gang violence has led to the closure of 18 hospitals and a shortage of medical supplies, with the country's main seaport and international airport remaining closed.
Aid workers from The Alliance for International Medical Action have highlighted the challenging situation, affecting their daily movement in the capital. The violence has displaced around 17,000 people, forcing them to seek shelter in overcrowded and inadequate conditions.
