PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Haiti’s main fuel import terminal was suspended on Monday as gang-affiliated armed men seized trucks and demanded it be shut down, according to a source with information on the matter, likely exacerbating existing gasoline and diesel shortages.
Armed gangs blocked the Varreux terminal for brief periods in both 2021 and 2022, impeding economic activity and prompting the government to call for foreign intervention.
