The Prime Minister Of Haiti Tours The Recaptured Hospital

In anticipation of the prime minister’s visit, heavily armed Haitian police monitored the area around the University hospital in Port-au-Prince on Tuesday.
Over five months ago, gangs took over most of the territory in the capital of Haiti, leaving the main hospital shuttered.
Sunday night, following a brief gunfight with a few gang members still on the loose, authorities evacuated the neighborhood.
Bullet holes abound in the walls of the hospital and surrounding buildings, a testament to the brutality and multiple shootouts that took place in Port-au-Prince’s downtown, which is located close to the National Palace.
The U.N.-backed Kenyan police unit had recently been deployed to assist curb the rising violence, so the Haitian National Police moved to retake the hospital and the gang-encroached region.
Under strict protection, the head of Haiti’s police chief and Prime Minister Gary Conille paid a visit to the hospital. Conille called that part of the country a “war zone.”
The attacks by criminal groups have brought Haiti’s healthcare sector dangerously close to collapse.
There is a shortage of resources for treating the increasing number of people with severe illnesses brought on by the increased violence.
