Haiti remains paralyzed this morning. There is no fuel anywhere except the rare gallon sold at extortionate pricing on the black market. No traffic, except a rare motorcycle. Hospitals are announcing shut downs one by one. There is no drinking water in most neighborhoods. #haiti

As gangs continue to block the entrance of Varreaux, the main fuel terminal, @UN says that lives are being lost in Haiti as life-saving health services risk coming to a “standstill” due to a lack of fuel.
