Doctors Without Borders Withdraws from Port-au-Prince Amid Police Threats

Doctors Without Borders has withdrawn from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, citing threats from the police as the main reason for their departure. The organization reported a recent attack on an ambulance that resulted in casualties among patients and injuries to staff. This escalation follows a prolonged crisis in Haiti, where gangs are believed to control around 85% of the capital, leading to thousands of deaths this year alone. The ongoing violence and instability have hindered humanitarian efforts significantly.
