Gang violence in Haiti continues to escalate as two upscale neighborhoods in the capital Port-au-Prince were attacked early Monday morning, leaving at least a dozen people dead. In response, the Haitian government extended the nighttime curfew to March 20.
The residents of Port-au-Prince are grappling with the relentless violence and chaos. One resident recounted his harrowing experience over the past three weeks. He described how schools and hospitals are unable to function due to the attacks, and the community is facing a severe gas shortage.
“There is no day passed without hearing heavy guns shooting,” he said, highlighting the constant state of fear that has gripped the city.
The escalating unrest has disrupted daily life, forcing residents to navigate through danger and uncertainty. Essential services are crippled, and the lack of fuel exacerbates the challenges faced by those trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy.
As the situation in Haiti deteriorates, the international community watches with concern for the safety and well-being of its people.
