Police take control of Haiti fuel terminal

Security forces in Haiti say they have taken control of a major fuel depot held by criminal gangs.

The government says fuel distribution will resume from the Varreux terminal, in the rundown Cité Soleil area, on Monday.

The gangs seized the port facility in September, blocking the delivery of imported fuel and hampering efforts to distribute food and medicines.

The terminal supplies most of the oil products in Haiti.

It has been controlled and blockaded by a coalition of powerful gangs, known as G9, for more than a month.
