Premier Furey Denounces ‘Evil’ Gang Attack on Haitian Trauma Centre

In a powerful statement, Premier Andrew Furey described the recent gang attack on a crucial trauma centre in Haiti as “evil.” His condemnation is rooted in firsthand experience; Furey has spent several years providing humanitarian and medical assistance in the country through Team Broken Earth.

Haiti, known as one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere, has faced relentless adversity, including devastating natural disasters and a deepening political crisis. This turmoil has allowed armed gangs to operate with increasing impunity, exacerbating the suffering of the Haitian people.

In a shocking incident this week, armed groups launched an assault on a vital medical facility, setting it ablaze and wreaking havoc on millions of dollars worth of medical equipment and infrastructure. The facility was a beacon of hope in a country struggling to maintain healthcare access, especially in the wake of continuous challenges.

Premier Furey expressed his disbelief and sorrow over the destruction of the hospital and an ambulance that were funded by Team Broken Earth, a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to improving healthcare in Haiti. “It’s a tragedy that impacts not only the facility but also the thousands of patients who rely on it for life-saving treatment,” he stated.

As Haiti continues to grapple with violence and instability, the international community is urged to respond. Many fear that the situation will deteriorate further unless urgent action is taken to protect healthcare facilities and support the affected populations.

This incident shines a glaring light on the urgent need for international humanitarian assistance and highlights the critical importance of securing medical infrastructure in vulnerable regions. The question remains: What steps will the global community take to protect the innocent and restore order in Haiti?

Stay tuned for updates as this situation develops—it’s a call for action that we can’t ignore!
