Haiti's largest hospital destroyed by gang-set fire

A fire set by gangs has destroyed Haiti's largest public hospital, highlighting ongoing issues in the country. The hospital, heavily funded by U.S. aid, has been closed for a year due to gang violence. Dr. Pierre S. Prince was appointed director just before Christmas, hoping to oversee a major renovation. However, a planned reopening was canceled after a gang attack killed a police officer and two journalists. Recent social media posts confirmed the hospital's older building was set ablaze by gang members. The situation reflects the severe challenges facing Haiti's healthcare system amid rising gang violence.
