Haitian forces working with police sent from Kenya have launched a joint operation to oust criminal gangs from one of the roughest neighbourhoods of Haiti's capital.
Prime Minister Garry Conille says the government is moving to solve the security crisis in Haiti.
He spoke at a hospital in Port-au-Prince where three Haitian policemen were recuperating after being injured in a shootout Tuesday during the joint operation in the impoverished and gang-controlled neighbourhood of Bel Air.
More than 3,200 killings have been reported in Haiti from January to May.
Gangs that control 80 per cent of Port-au-Prince have left more than half a million people homeless in recent years as they fight to control more territory.
