Despite an increased presence of troops on the streets, few residents of the capital, Port-au-Prince, feel safer. The seaside slum of Cite Soleil, where most victims are taken, is off limits to almost everyone other than those connected to the gangs that run the 1-square-mile landfill that houses nearly a quarter-million people.
