William O'Neill pointed out that more than 80% of Port-au-Prince is under gang control, leading to immense suffering amongst the Haitian people, with hunger and displacement affecting the population.
The gangs are using sexual violence as a weapon to exert control over the population, while also trafficking children, forcibly recruiting them, and using them for attacks on police and public facilities.
Haiti's humanitarian crisis is intensifying, with nearly five million people facing severe hunger, heightened by soaring inflation, resource shortages, and an increase in displaced individuals.
Despite the UN's approval of a security mission over a year ago, only a small number of troops have been deployed, with existing resources proving inadequate.
