Franty Jean, 3, cries next to his un-named 3 day old brother, just 3 days after their mother, Kele Tintin, was caught in the middle of gang warfare and killed on her way to work. Tintin stayed alive long enough to give birth to a son the same day, and died 6 hours later. The security situation in Cite-Soleil, one of the most dangerous slums in Haiti, has deteriorated over the past few months with two warring gangs controlling the entire town. In Project, the side of town controlled by a pro-aristide gang, the market had to move away from the border zone, people take creaky, wooden boats across the harbor instead of crossing the dividing line, and children are threatened with death if they attempt to cross the line on their way to school.
