Carrefour-Feuilles Under Siege: Armed Gangs Terrorize Residents

Carrefour-Feuilles, once a bustling neighborhood in Port-au-Prince, remains trapped in a cycle of terror as armed gangs tighten their grip. On Wednesday, heavy gunfire echoed through multiple areas, sending residents into a state of panic.

Eyewitnesses report that heavily armed men once again stormed the streets, forcing countless families to flee their homes in desperation. Once lively alleys now stand empty as people abandon everything in hopes of escaping the relentless violence.

“We can’t live here anymore. Every day, we fear for our lives. Gunfire erupts without warning, and we don’t even know where it’s coming from. We can’t sleep, and we don’t know if we’ll see tomorrow,” said one resident over the phone.

This chaos has persisted for months, yet despite repeated pleas for help, authorities remain powerless to restore order. As government officials turn a blind eye and security forces fail to act, Carrefour-Feuilles is increasingly becoming a lawless zone under the control of gangs.

Meanwhile, those fleeing the violence find themselves crammed into overcrowded shelters, struggling to survive in dire conditions. But how much longer can they keep running? As insecurity spreads, so does the despair of a population abandoned to its fate.
