Gangs have launched a new attack on Haiti’s capital and killed an unknown number of civilians in what used to be a peaceful neighborhood.

Armed gangs launched a fresh attack on Haiti's capital before dawn on Tuesday, killing residents in the Delmas 30 neighborhood and causing more residents to flee as gangs continue to operate unchecked in the Caribbean nation.

The attacks in the Delmas 30 neighborhood of Port-au-Prince sent Haitians running into the streets carrying bed frames and pushing wheelbarrows on Tuesday,.
