More than 53,000 people have fled Haiti's capital in just three weeks of March due to conflict between armed gangs. The state's absence and lack of political solutions have left civilians in chaos. The UN estimates that tens of thousands of people have left Port-au-Prince's metropolitan area, with violence escalating over the Easter weekend and at the start of April. Human rights abuses, including killings, kidnappings, and sexual violence, are occurring on an unprecedented scale. The conflict has also disrupted the transportation of essential goods and humanitarian aid into the capital.
