Gang violence in Haiti has displaced 300,000 children, the United Nations says
Briefly

Children make up more than half of the nearly 580,000 homeless in Haiti as gang violence continues to rise, with limited protection and support from the international community.
Displaced children in Haiti face dire conditions including poor hygiene in makeshift shelters, leading to increased risk of disease and dropout rates due to school closures.
Children in Haiti are forced to join violent gangs for survival due to lack of basic needs like food, healthcare, clean water, and sanitation, further exposing them to risks of sexual assault, exploitation, and abuse.
