International Action Postpones Installations in Martissant due to Gang Violence; Temporarily Moves Efforts to Trousable
An escalation of violence between rival gangs in Martissant and Grand Ravine has led the IAWater team to reevaluate where they are installing chlorinators. More than forty people were killed and twenty houses burned in ongoing gang fighting. The team has decided to install four chlorinators in Trousable until the security situation in other areas improves. It has also identified several sites for installations: two in the hills above Peitionville, one in Delmas 33, one in Cite L’eternal and several in Cite Soleil.
