MSF Treats 27 Gunshot Wound Patients in Under 24 Hours

Médecins Sans Frontières facilities in the Port-au-Prince metro area treated 27 patients with gunshot wounds in less than 24 hours on August 8, 2026, reflecting the intensity of the weekend's gang violence surge including the Kenscoff police attack and Gros-Mornes massacre. The casualty surge added acute pressure to MSF's already-strained network of facilities, which has repeatedly suspended and resumed operations throughout 2026 due to gang clashes near hospital sites.
