[Haiti] Battles: Armed clash

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 1, 2025, members of the Grand-Ravine Gang reportedly conducted a fatal attack on the Saint Francois d'Asise school in Port-au-Prince's Pacot district, killing a security guard. This incident reflects the ongoing deterioration of security conditions in Haiti's capital amid sustained gang violence.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Continued gang violence in Port-au-Prince could further disrupt already limited commercial operations and humanitarian aid distribution if the security environment deteriorates beyond current levels.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of gang activity beyond individual incidents into sustained territorial control battles that could affect port or airport operations
• Track whether international organizations or governments issue updated travel advisories or operational guidance for Haiti
