PAHO Situation Report No. 3. Humanitarian Situation in Haiti. 15 March 2024
The PAHO Situation Report No. 3 for Haiti, dated March 15, 2024, details the worsening security situation in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area despite the Prime Minister's resignation. Gang-controlled areas have expanded, leading to the closure of the international airport and making it impossible to import essential goods, including medicines. Most embassies have evacuated non-essential staff, and UN agencies, including PAHO/WHO, are planning similar evacuations. The national port in Port-au-Prince is operational but remains difficult to access due to surrounding gang activities. The Haitian government has extended the emergency declaration and ongoing curfew, banning all demonstrations during this period. |
