Health facilities in Port-au-Prince metropolitan areas continue to be impacted by the ongoing violence, further restricting access to life-saving care for people in and around the Haitian capital, said UN humanitarians on Wednesday.

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that armed groups last week looted two healthcare facilities Delmas 18 Hospital and the Saint Martin Health Center.
