Haiti resumes fuel supplies under heavy security

STORY: Armed police escorted trucks loaded with petrol leaving the Varreux fuel terminal, where months ago the G9 gang coalition had dug trenches and set up barricades to prevent fuel distribution.

Haiti's National Police said on Friday (November 4) that it had taken back control of the Varreux fuel terminal, where the G9 gang coalition had dug trenches and set up barricades to prevent fuel distribution.

The gasoline and diesel shortages had halted almost all economic activity, including in transportation and hospitals, and forced many local business owners to shut operations since gangs started blocking ports that held fuel stores.
