Security forces in Haiti retake key fuel facility from gangs

Security forces in Haiti say they have taken control of a major fuel depot held by criminal gangs.

In September, the gangs seized the port facility which supplies most of the oil products in Haiti, blocking the delivery of imported fuel and hampering efforts to distribute food and medicines.

The blockade forced many businesses to close and complicated the distribution of petrol and bottled drinking water amid a worsening cholera outbreak.
