Overview
During a press conference for the reopening of Haiti's General Hospital, armed gang members attacked, killing two journalists and a police officer, injuring others. This assault highlights the intense gang violence in Port-au-Prince, where an estimated 85% of the city is under gang control. The government had regained control of the hospital in July after previous gang occupation. The attack underscores the deteriorating security situation in Haiti, where over 5,300 have reportedly been killed in violence in 2023 alone, exacerbating the crisis in the country's healthcare system.
