The humanitarian group accused authorities in the lawless Haitian capital of repeatedly stopping its vehicles and threatening its staff with violence, including death and rape.

The medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) will stop operations in Haiti’s capital after its staff were threatened by members of the police.

The NGO said its staff had been threatened with rape and death by Haitian police, forcing it to shut down some of the few functioning healthcare centers in the capital.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Tuesday that it is stopping operations across the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince and its wider metropolitan area due to an escalation in violence and threats to its staff from members of the Haitian police.
