Rising gang violence has torn through several areas of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, killing dozens and displacing around 30,000 people.
Much of the violence has been concentrated in Cité Soleil, an impoverished neighbourhood in Haiti’s capital, where access routes to affected areas are blocked, hindering life-saving assistance.
The World Food Programme has already reached 8,500 newly displaced people from Cité Soleil with emergency food assistance.
