 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Hundreds of people fled their homes in a hillside slum of the Haitian capital Friday to escape fierce fighting between gangs that has killed at least 30 people in the past two months, officials said.
Families streamed away from the Grand Ravine slum with mattresses, clothing and whatever else they could recover from their houses — many of which were set on fire by gangs from neighboring slums that are fighting for control of the area.
"I have no money, no house, no idea where I'm going," said Joseline Louis, a 55-year-old fruit seller, as she pushed a cart with her belongings.
