More than 330,000 Haitians could now face returning to a country where widespread violence, displacement, and nearly collapsed health services make daily life unsafe.
Tirana Hassan, CEO of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) USA, gave the following statement today following a US Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Trump administration's efforts to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in the US:
"Today's Supreme Court decision means that more than 330,000 Haitians could now face return to a country where widespread violence, displacement, and nearly collapsed health services make daily life unsafe.
"Just last week, one of the country's historic maternity hospitals, Isaïe Jeanty, was forced to suspend all operations due to intense armed clashes. MSF teams were there as more than 100 people took shelter at the hospital while it continued to be struck by stray bullets. We have since suspended our work in this facility, and thousands of people lost access to medical care as a result.
"An extremely high level of violence continues in Port-au-Prince and other parts of Haiti. Our teams witness the human cost of this crisis: hospitals forced to suspend services, patients cut off from care, and communities trapped by violence. These are not conditions to which people should be returned. We urge the Trump administration not to deport people into a humanitarian crisis."
