Haiti’s health minister has been removed from his post following a deadly gang attack on the largest public hospital in the capital, Port-au-Prince.

Street gangs closed down the hospital early this year, which is the biggest public hospital in Port-au-Prince.

Two journalists and a police officer died and at least seven others were wounded in the shooting before the reopening of a hospital wing in Port-au-Prince.

Wounded journalists in bloodied clothes waited for help on the floor of Haiti's General Hospital after it was attacked by gangs a day before Christmas Day.
