Doctors Without Borders said it has suspended operations in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, and the wider metropolitan area following alleged threats to staff by Haitian police officers.
In a Nov. 20 statement, the international charity, which provides medical care in more than 70 countries, said that the suspension will remain in effect “until further notice” or until the charity and its workers are assured unhindered “security and respect” from armed groups, “vigilante groups,” and law enforcement officers.
