Gang Violence Crisis: A fresh wave of armed clashes in Port-au-Prince has sent hundreds fleeing, with families sleeping along the road to Haiti’s main airport. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says fighting forced it to evacuate its Cité Soleil hospital, treating more than 40 gunshot victims and sheltering about 800 people before suspending operations—while it warns no hospitals are safely operating in the battle zone. Medical System Under Strain: MSF reports a security guard was hit by a stray bullet, and another hospital (Hopital Fontaine) evacuated newborns from intensive care. Political Deadlock: Haiti’s Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé says security is not sufficient for the August presidential vote, pushing for elections later in the year as hospitals shut down and displacement grows. Humanitarian Alarm: The UN also flags a sharp rise in gender-based violence in early 2026, with rape making up over 70% of reported cases—an added layer of danger for people already trapped by the violence.
