‘Incredible cruelty’: gang battles leave 150 dead in Haitian capital

Scores wounded as violence paralyses Port-au-Prince forcing thousands to flee their homes

Nearly 150 people have been killed and scores wounded during gunfights between warring gangs in Haiti, as the latest surge of violence has paralysed much of the sprawling capital, Port-au-Prince.

Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said on Thursday that it had treated more than 96 people with gunshot wounds in its medical facilities in Port-au-Prince since 24 April.
