Haiti fuel shortage intensifies

The World
People push and shove as they try to get their tanks filled at a gas station in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021.

Haiti is running out of fuel. The severe fuel shortage has intensified because gangs are blockading fuel supplies at ports located in areas controlled by them. And we hear from Osama, who grew up in the West Bank during the first and second intifadas. A chance encounter with a group of Jewish people made him question his own prejudices and he now works for peace. Plus, a court in Madrid has ruled that a couple, now separated, will have joint custody of their dog. The ruling recognized the people as “co-carers” so that Panda, the dog, will now alternate between two homes.
