At least two journalists and a police officer were shot dead in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, in an attack by gang members on a hospital, according to a local media collective and authorities, APA reports citing DW.
The journalists were covering the reopening of Haiti's largest public hospital when the attack occurred.
The State University of Haiti Hospital had been closed since February of 2024 after it was attacked by gang members. Authorities had then pledged to reopen it on Christmas eve but as members of the media gathered for the opening, the street gang opened fire.
