Thousands of residents fled a Port-au-Prince neighborhood stormed by gang members on Tuesday. The neighborhood, like many others in Haiti, is regularly attacked by a gang led by Renel Destina. At least 3,120 people have fled this neighborhood, according to a provisional assessment by the Haitian Civil Protection Directorate. Haiti has been mired for years in a deep economic, security and political crisis, which has strengthened the grip of gangs. The armed gangs control about 80% of the Haitian capital and violent crime is frequent.
