Doctors Without Borders Permanently Closes Emergency Center in Haiti Amid Escalating Violence
In a significant development, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has announced the permanent closure of its emergency center in Turgeau, Port-au-Prince, due to escalating gang violence and deteriorating conditions in Haiti. The organization expressed deep regret over this tough decision, highlighting the alarming situation in the country where record levels of hunger and displacement continue to affect the population. With 90% of Port-au-Prince now reportedly under gang control, many hospitals and businesses have closed, forcing humanitarian organizations to reassess their operations. While MSF plans to support the reopening of a major maternity hospital, the closing of their emergency clinic marks a critical moment in the ongoing crisis in Haiti.
