UNITED NATIONS (CMC) – The United Nations on Friday warned that intensified clashes are putting people in Haiti at growing risk, particularly in densely populated neighbourhoods of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
“Since mid-October, violence in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets, in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, has displaced around 2,000 people, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM),” said Farhan Haq, the UN deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres.
He told the daily UN press briefing that nearly 90 per cent of people in Haiti are staying with host families, while the rest have sought shelter at five spontaneous sites.
