"Haiti's National Palace Area Paralyzed by Violent Gang Battle"

A gunbattle between Haitian police and gangs near the National Palace in downtown Port-au-Prince paralyzed the area for several hours, with at least one policeman shot and an armored car set on fire. The ongoing violence, which has resulted in over 1,500 deaths and 800 injuries, has prompted Prime Minister Ariel Henry to announce his resignation once a transitional council is established. The government has raised concerns over the council's creation, as it is not provided for in the constitution or Haitian laws.
