        Haiti's new interim prime minister, Garry Conille, is in stable condition after being hospitalized for an unspecified illness on Saturday afternoon, his office said.
        
        Conille, 58, who took office just over a week ago, was rushed to hospital after suffering breathing problems, local media reported earlier. His office did not provide details on the cause of his hospitalization.
        
        "Following a week of intense activities, the Prime Minister ... had a slight illness on the afternoon of Saturday June 8, 2024 and went to the hospital for treatment," his office said in a statement.
        
        "His situation is stable for the moment," it added.
        
        Reuters images showed several ambulances and police officers outside a hospital in a suburb of the capital Port-au-Prince where Conille was reportedly undergoing treatment.
