The recent attacks by armed gangs in Haiti, including shooting at a U.N. helicopter, reflect the growing instability and the overwhelming power of criminal groups against outnumbered security forces.
The U.N. helicopter was struck while in midair, highlighting the dire security situation in Port-au-Prince and the risks faced by those delivering essential humanitarian aid.
In response to the escalating violence, approximately two dozen U.S. Embassy employees are set to be evacuated, indicating the serious threat posed by the gangs.
The multinational security force, comprising officers from several nations, aims to support the severely underfunded Haitian police and address ongoing gang violence threatening the government.
