HAITI – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says the level of armed violence in Haiti has become so extreme that it has had to engage with hundreds of gangs in order to be able to deliver humanitarian aid.

ICRC Director-General Robert Mardini says about 300 gangs are active across Haiti and 80% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is under gang control.

Many health facilities have stopped operating because of the gang violence as health staff are often threatened.
