Gang and police gunbattles paralyse area near Haiti's National Palace
At least one policeman was shot after he and other officers were forced to flee an armoured car that was later set on fire, according to local media reports.
Haiti's Prime Minister Garry Conille survived an assassination attempt on July 29 when gangs opened fire near a hospital he was visiting in Port-au-Prince. The incident occurred during Conille's surprise inspection of the General Hospital, recently reclaimed from gang control. Escorted by Haitian police and UN-backed Kenyan forces, Conille escaped unharmed. This attack highlights the ongoing security crisis in Haiti's capital, where gangs control about 80% of the area, posing constant threats to residents and government officials alike.
