After a period of relative calm, violence resumed in Port-au-Prince. Residents erected barricades to try to protect themselves from gang attacks.
Shooting targeted the capital's airport on Thursday, near which a police officer was injured. The nighttime curfew was extended until Sunday in the West department. The region is under a state of emergency until April 3, with a one-month curfew in place in the capital. The United States announced additional humanitarian aid of $25 million on Friday, in addition to the $33 million announced earlier.
