Haiti's Health Minister was fired after a gang attack killed three people at a hospital reopening.

Haiti's Health Minister, Duckenson Lorthe, was dismissed after a gang attack at the capital's main hospital killed two journalists and a police officer during its reopening. The attack, claimed by gang leader Johnson "Izo" André, exposed security lapses. The Security Minister will serve as interim Health Minister. Haiti, under a transitional council due to political instability, has seen increasing gang violence since the 2021 assassination of its president.
