PORT-AU-PRINCE, May 11 (Reuters) – Hospitals in Haiti’s Cite Soleil neighborhood of the capital Port-au-Prince evacuated their patients and aid group MSF suspended its activities there on Monday as fighting between armed groups operating in the area that began a fortnight ago deteriorated over the weekend.
MSF (Doctors Without Borders in English) said hundreds of residents sought refuge in its hospital, where one of its security guards was shot by a stray bullet inside the compound. Another hospital told Reuters it evacuated newborns from its intensive care unit.
