Partners In Development (PID), a nonprofit organization based in Ipswich, Mass., operates a vital medical clinic in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, amidst escalating unrest in the country. The clinic has experienced a surge in patients in recent weeks due to the closure of healthcare facilities and the withdrawal of other nonprofits from the area.
Violence has plagued Haiti's capital, with armed gangs engaging in clashes with police since late February. The situation worsened when gangs attacked prisons, leading to the release of thousands of inmates. The United Nations estimates that a significant portion of Port-au-Prince is under gang control or influence.
