Fighting first broke out on July 8, according to MSF, effectively preventing residents from leaving the area and preventing the delivery of vital aid — including trucks carrying drinking water. Three MSF health workers living in the affected area of Brooklyn are caring for those affected by the fighting, the group said. “Along the only road to Brooklyn, we came across decomposing or burning bodies,” MSF mission chief Mumuza Muhindo said in a press release. “It could be people who were killed during the clashes or people who were trying to leave who were shot – it is a real battlefield. It is not possible to estimate how many people have been killed,” he added. Haiti has suffered from violent instability for years. After the assassination of former president Jovenel Moïse in July last year, his successor Ariel Henry promised to improve security. However, kidnappings and gang violence continue to plague the Caribbean nation.
