Gang Attack Kills Two Journalists in Haiti

In a violent attack by gang members during the reopening of Haiti's largest public hospital, two journalists, Markenzy Nathoux and Jimmy Jean, and a police officer were killed in Port-au-Prince. The shooting occurred as journalists gathered to cover the event, which marked the hospital's reopening after months of closure due to gang violence. Robest Dimanche from the Online Media Collective attributed the attack to the 'Viv Ansanm' gang coalition, emphasizing the terror-like nature of the incident that left several other reporters injured. Haiti's interim president, Leslie Voltaire, condemned the attack as 'unacceptable' and promised that those responsible would be held accountable. The state of security in Haiti remains dire, with gangs controlling around 85% of the capital and contributing to widespread violence and instability. Videos from the scene depicted chaos, with wounded individuals and the aftermath of the shooting circulating on social media.
