Countries that share borders with Haiti have begun to transfer their workers to Eastern Haiti. The United States of America also asked its citizens to leave Haiti urgently.
Haiti has been in a state of insecurity since Sunday, when unidentified assailants attacked the main prison in the capital Port-au-Prince, freeing 3,700 inmates. More than 10 people have been identified as having died in the attack.
The attackers said that the next step is to take over the country. As reported by the British News Agency (Reuters), parents were asked to keep their children at home, and the government also asked them to go to school instead. The attacking groups demanded that the Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, resign from his duties.
The United Nations Migration Agency (OIM) says that in just three days, about 15,000 people have fled the reported illegal trafficking in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, International organizations have been forced to suspend their activities due to security concerns. Yesterday, life seemed to stand still in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Schools, banks, and other public services did not work. Most of the roads were closed, while the roads that were not closed were very busy.
