Partners In Development continues to operate in Port-au-Prince despite ongoing gang violence. Their GP sees around 60 patients a day. The organization has been in Haiti since the early 90s.

Partners In Development , a nonprofit organization based in Ipswich, Mass., runs one of the few remaining medical clinics in Haiti's capital city of Port-au-Prince amid ongoing unrest in the country. Tali Marcelin, the president of PID, told Fox News Digital that their clinic has seen an uptick in patients throughout the past few weeks due to several healthcare facilities closing and other nonprofits pulling out of the area.

The Dominican Republic was the intended final destination of 3% of people, according to the IOM. PID Haiti Field Director Raymond Niquelson, who has worked with the nonprofit since 1999, told Fox News Digital that the past few weeks in the area haven’t 'been so good.' 'People can’t go out of the area, but our clinic is loaded with patients. Some of the patients have to leave and come back the following day because we are too busy,' he said.
