Armed men opened fire during a briefing to announce the reopening of the country’s largest public hospital, which had been destroyed by gangs earlier in the year. The Viv Ansanm gang alliance, which controls much of the capital, claimed responsibility for the attack, opposing the hospital's reopening.

With 85% of the capital under gang control and thousands dead this year alone, the country faces increasing instability, suffering, and insecurity.
