On December 25, armed men opened fire on journalists and police gathered for the reopening of Haiti’s largest hospital, killing at least three, including two reporters. The attack, attributed to the Viv Ansanm gang, also wounded several others. Local media reported the incident occurred at the State University of Haiti Hospital in Port-au-Prince. Prime Minister’s office condemned the assault, calling it an attack on society’s foundation. This violence comes amid escalating gang activity, with over 5,300 killed in Haiti this year. n18oc_crux
