Haiti remains paralyzed this morning. There is no fuel anywhere except the rare gallon sold at extortionate pricing on the black market. No traffic, except a rare motorcycle. Hospitals are announcing shut downs one by one. There is no drinking water in most neighborhoods. #haiti

"The human suffering in Haiti is indescribable," Dominican minister tells @UN Security Council as he goes into detail about gangs ongoing blocking of Varreux. He says 400K people live in vecinity and "We must avoid a tragedy at all costs."

[Jacqueline Charles @Jacquiecharles]

As gangs continue to block the entrance of Varreaux, the main fuel terminal, @UN says that lives are being lost in Haiti as life-saving health
services risk coming to a “standstill” due to a lack of fuel.

@AAA_Travel Stranded since 7:40 in a spot that is not dangerous but highly unsafe. Told pick up was a 9:20. Called at 9:40 was told that truck would arrive in 90 minutes. Asked to talk to someone who might help, I was left on hold for 30 minutes.Totally unacceptable.

[Haitian American Foundation for Democracy @weare_haffd]

Numerous have been the distress calls from the population of the Plaine du Cul-de-Sac taken hostage since Sunday by gangs in the area. We need to amplify these voices. #Haiti #gang #HaitiMESILETAPEYIM #StandbyHaiti #HAFFD

Haitian migrants cross the jungle near Acandi, Colombia, heading to Panama as they try to reach the US.

@AFP's Raul Arboleda photographs the migrants during their dangerous trek through the Darien jungle, battling snakes, rivers, downpours and drug traffickers

@POTUS TPS recipient says thank you! Asking for permanent solution!@MarleineBastien

[Leonie Hermantin @Laywony]

@RepGregoryMeeks TPS designation for Haiti. We say THANK YOU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[Jacqueline Charles @Jacquiecharles]

Often it's not what people say but what they don't say. The fact #Haiti was not mentioned by @VP, @WHAAsstSecty or @SecMayorkas during this @ASCOA Americas conference, begs the question: Is Haiti a priority for @POTUS administration? https://t.co/pn2cX2QN3S

[Leonie Hermantin @Laywony]

@POTUS We thank you for TPS designation for Haitian migrants.
