Haiti is nearing a critical tipping point due to rampant gang violence, a situation labeled dire by UN representative Maria Isabel Salvador, who addressed the Security Council. Gang control is pervasive, leading to murders, rapes, kidnappings, and significant political instability. Citizens are increasingly vulnerable and doubtful of state effectiveness. Salvador stresses the need for more international aid to combat this spiraling crisis as the UN-sanctioned Kenyan police force is under-resourced and struggling to regain control. Without immediate support, Haiti risks descending into further chaos and suffering from health and social crises, including cholera outbreaks and gender-based violence.
