Haiti gangs were forced to flee on Tuesday, August 19, after a joint anti-gang operation by the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission police and Haitian officers in the Dofunor area, located 198 kilometres north of Port-au-Prince. This operation restored security, allowing rice farmers to access their stores.

• Over 198 kilometres north of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, was the location of the anti-gang operation.
• Godfrey Otunge, MSS Commander, assured residents that critical routes would be reopened and expressed gratitude for cooperation.
• Gangs attempted to hinder police by digging trenches and destroying the Palmiste bridge.
