Haiti PM Ambushed by Gang in Hospital: Shocking Videos Reveal
In a dramatic turn of events, Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille was urgently evacuated from the State University Hospital of Haiti (HUEH) in Port-au-Prince on Monday, July 29, 2024.
The evacuation occurred as gangs ambushed the hospital during Conille’s visit, an area that had been under gang control until recently.
The situation escalated rapidly, with videos capturing vehicles speeding away from the hospital amidst the sound of gunfire.
The hospital had been a focal point of violence, with gang activity causing significant disruption to the healthcare services in the region.
However, the situation quickly deteriorated as gangs attempted to retake the hospital, leading to a tense standoff with security forces.
The Multinational Support Mission, which includes officers from Kenya, played a crucial role in securing the area and ensuring the safe evacuation of the Prime Minister.

Videos from the scene show government vehicles leaving the area at a high speed as gunshots continue to rent the air.
The security forces also helped save the lives of journalists who had been assigned to cover the visit.
Haitian authorities, along with international partners, are working to restore order and reopen the hospital.
The facility, which served about 1,500 patients daily before its closure, is vital for the local community, especially as it provides essential healthcare services that are otherwise inaccessible to many Haitians.
This incident is a stark reminder of the volatile situation in Haiti, where gangs control up to 80% of Port-au-Prince.
The international community’s involvement, particularly the Kenyan police, signals a concerted effort to support Haiti in reclaiming and rebuilding critical infrastructure.
As the situation develops, the world watches closely, hoping for a resolution that will restore peace and stability to the troubled nation.
