Haiti's surge in gang violence has led more than 53,000 to flee the capital in less than three weeks

Here are the full details:
Over 53,000 people have fled Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, in less than three weeks due to a surge in gang violence.
The violence has been ongoing since the end of February when powerful gangs launched attacks on government institutions.
Gunmen have targeted police stations, the international airport, and two of Haiti's largest prisons, freeing over 4,000 inmates in the process.
The majority of those fleeing Port-au-Prince are headed to the country's rural southern region, which already hosts more than 116,000 people who previously left the capital.
The region lacks sufficient infrastructure and resources to accommodate the influx of refugees, raising concerns among U.N. officials.
The situation in Haiti remains volatile, with the capital city of 3 million people still grappling with the effects of the gang violence.
The ongoing crisis in Haiti highlights the challenges faced by the country's government in maintaining security and providing essential services to its citizens.
