More than 200 people have been killed in gang violence in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, in the space of 10 days, United Nations figures reveal.
Almost half of those who died were residents without ties to the gangs which are fighting for control of the Cité Soleil neighbourhood, the UN says.
Locals say they are running out of drinking water and food as deliveries have been halted amid the shoot-outs.
One resident described his life as “a cycle of fear, stress and despair”.
