Haiti Declares State of Emergency Amid Escalating Violence and Disrupted Airport Flights

Over the weekend, heavily armed gangs attacked Haiti's Toussaint Louverture International Airport. In response, Haitian officials declared a three-day state of emergency and imposed a nightly curfew to quell the growing unrest. The airport was closed following the attack, marking the biggest such incident in Haiti's history. Previously, there had been a brief gunfire incident at the airport last week, but the gangs did not seize control of it.
