Gang Offensive in Port-au-Prince Neighborhood Displaces Thousands
A coordinated attack by the 'Viv Ansanm' gang coalition in the Cité Soleil district of Port-au-Prince has forced 13,200 people to flee their homes in under 48 hours. The UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that residents sought shelter in temporary camps and schools in relatively safer zones of the capital. The violence involved heavy gunfire and the burning of residential blocks. This surge in displacement highlights the continuing volatility of territory control between rival gangs.
