Victims of Gangs: Carrefour-Feuilles Residents Share Their Ordeal

Dozens of families now occupy the courtyard of the Vincent Gymnasium on Romain Street, as observed by Le Nouvelliste on Thursday, August 17, 2023. All those who have taken refuge in this sports and cultural space just a few kilometers from the national palace have their own stories and carry their own burdens. However, they all share a common point: they are from Carrefour-Feuilles and are fleeing the terror of the gangs.

At 11 o'clock, in the courtyard of the Vincent Gymnasium, everyone tries to hold onto life and find something to occupy themselves. Some are still sleeping under the bleachers, while others discuss the latest rumors they've heard about their neighborhood. Children, carefree, play around. Clothes, garments, and pieces of cardboard are scattered in disarray under the sun, reminiscent of a refugee camp after the earthquake of January 12, 2010. The previous night was not restful; heavy rain fell on Port-au-Prince.
