Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is expanding its operations in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, due to a spike in casualties resulting from escalating violence. Armed groups are targeting strategic locations, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. MSF reports a significant increase in patients, with their hospital in Tabarre now operating at full capacity. Insecurity and roadblocks hinder ambulance services. UN Security Council calls an emergency meeting, while gang leader Jimmy Cherizier warns of civil war and “genocide” if demands are not met. The Haitian government imposes a state of emergency and curfew.
