Over 20,000 displaced by gang violence in Haiti: UN agency

"The isolation of Port-au-Prince is amplifying an already dire humanitarian situation," said Gregoire Goodstein, Haiti chief for the International Organization for Migration. "Our ability to deliver aid is stretched to its limits. Without immediate international support, the suffering will worsen exponentially," Goodstein added in a statement. The IOM said that around 17,000 of the roughly 20,000 people recently forced to relocate were already in temporary housing, with many having been displaced multiple times.
