Thousands of women and girls displaced by Haiti's gang violence are under threat from a surge in sexual assaults, the United Nations warned Tuesday, denouncing deplorable living conditions in makeshift camps.
"The risk of sexual violence for women and girls in displacement sites in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince is rapidly rising owing, in part, to the alarmingly poor living conditions they are facing," the global body's sexual and reproductive health agency UNFPA said in a statement.
