"Mass Displacement: Thousands of Haitians Seek Refuge in Sports Center Amidst Escalating Attacks"

Nearly 9,000 people have been displaced in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, due to a fresh outbreak of violence by armed gangs. The under-resourced police have struggled to combat the armed groups, who now control large parts of the city, leading to a devastating humanitarian crisis that has displaced around 200,000 people nationwide. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has called for urgent international security assistance, and a motion for such assistance is expected to go to a U.N. Security Council vote. Many displaced residents are seeking refuge in overcrowded shelters, while others have joined civilian self-defense groups. The situation is further exacerbated by a lack of aid and resources for those affected.
