"Humanitarian Crisis: Haiti's Healthcare System Struggles Amid Gang Violence"

Haiti's healthcare system is on the verge of collapse as gang warfare rages on, leaving hospitals set ablaze, doctors murdered, and medical supplies dried up. The violence has forced healthcare workers to stay home, leaving patients without essential medical care. The crisis has caused unnecessary deaths among pregnant women and elderly people, and the population is facing hunger, water scarcity, and daily violence. The international community is backing a plan for a transitional council to take over, but key factions and gang leaders have rejected any solution. NGOs are struggling to operate mobile clinics and fear running out of essential medical supplies.
