Nearly 100,000 People Fled Port-Au-Prince In One Month
United Nations, United States. Nearly 100,000 people fled the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince in the last month due to the intensification of attacks by armed gangs, the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced Friday.
According to data collected at the most used bus stations, the IOM found that between March 8 and April 9, 94,821 people fled the capital to go mainly to the departments of Greater South, which already host 116,000 displaced people. They fled in recent months, the IOM said in a statement.
The previous IOM figure reported 53,000 displaced people between March 8 and 27.
The agency points out that these figures do not necessarily reflect the entire flow, since some displaced people do not pass through the points where the data is collected.
The destination provinces “do not have sufficient infrastructure and the host communities do not have sufficient resources to allow them to face these massive flows of displaced people from the capital,” comments the IOM.
According to the data, the majority (63%) of the nearly 100,000 people who fled the capital were already internally displaced, often having first taken refuge with relatives in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.

The Clock Ticks For TikTok: Legislative Maneuvers Push…
The battle over TikTok intensifies as the push to separate the video platform from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, gains momentum. House Speaker Mike Johnson has strategically bundled the TikTok bill into a foreign aid package, which may force the Senate’s hand. While this move displeases ByteDance investors and Chinese diplomats are reportedly lobbying Capitol Hill staffers against it, there seems to be a strong possibility that the plan will be approved again.
However, TikTok is not the only tech-related concern on lawmakers’ agendas. The artificial intelligence (AI) boom continues to surge, with companies like TSMC experiencing an insatiable demand for processors. However, this growth in AI technology puts a strain on electricity supplies globally. The International Energy Agency predicts that energy demand tied to AI will more than double by 2026.
In light of this growing need for power consumption, tech giants are investing heavily in energy infrastructure, including nuclear and solar power projects. Andy Jassy from Amazon emphasized their focus on AI but expressed concerns over insufficient energy resources to support new generative AI services.
The increased adoption of AI could also bring about a geographic shift for tech companies as existing power grids struggle to cope with rising demands.
