The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, was closed on Tuesday due to Nearby Gunfire, with personnel restricted to embassy compounds. The closure comes after tense protests in the capital demanding protection from gang violence. Gang violence in Haiti has led to a surge in kidnappings and homicides and has severely impacted healthcare. The United Nations estimates that nearly half of Haiti's population, about 5.2 million people, are in need of humanitarian assistance.
