Police and civilian self-defense groups killed 28 alleged gang members in Port-au-Prince in an overnight operation, authorities said Tuesday, as Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said it was suspending operations in the Haitian capital.

As the government seeks to regain some control of the violent, chaotic city, MSF warned that the forces of law and order have become a "direct threat," even as gang members pressed on with attacks on some districts.
