NewzDoctors Without Borders (MSF) has suspended medical activities at the Isaïe Jeanty maternity hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The closure, announced on Saturday, August 8, marks the second time in as many months that the facility has halted operations due to renewed outbreaks of criminal violence and armed clashes in the Cité Soleil neighborhood.
The repeated suspensions highlight the severe impact of ongoing gang violence on essential healthcare infrastructure in the Haitian capital, forcing humanitarian organizations to interrupt critical maternity services for the local population amid escalating insecurity.
