In a country already deteriorated by violence, the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021 has favored the strengthening of some criminal gangs and has encouraged the birth of dozens of armed groups in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and in other parts of the country. …
The gangs took advantage of the confusion after the assassination in Haiti to conquer more territory and now control all the popular neighborhoods in the center of the capital. In the year 2021 alone, 949 cases of kidnapping were registered, including 55 of foreigners, the majority in Port-au-Prince.
It is a real war that the gangs are waging to take over new neighborhoods: homicides, rapes, looting and kidnappings have become everyday life for the inhabitants of Port-au-Prince.
In 2019, the last report of the National Commission for Disarmament, Dismantling and Reinsertion (Commission Nationale de Désarmement, de Démantèlement et de Réinsertion, CNDDR) of Haiti established that 3,000 men were affiliated with armed groups and that 500,000 illegal weapons circulated in the country. .
In this context of extreme urban violence, the organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF), present in Haiti for 30 years, manages a hospital in the district of Tabarre, an area that has so far been spared from shootings. There, the NGO performs surgeries on those injured by gang attacks and accompanies them throughout the rehabilitation process.
Also equipped with the only burn unit in the entire country, the hospital also welcomes victims of serious burns from all over the national territory. The number of burns is increasing due to the uncontrolled way in which domestic gas cylinders and fuel are sold and used. Another activity in which the State is absent.
