Haiti faces unprecedented turmoil as heavily armed gangs launch coordinated attacks on vital government infrastructure, including the Toussaint Louverture International Airport. With a mass escape from the country’s largest prisons exacerbating the crisis, violence has reached alarming levels. Gangs, reportedly controlling up to 80% of Port-au-Prince, are now targeting critical institutions, signaling a dire need for international intervention.
The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating security situation, urging urgent action to prevent further chaos. Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s efforts to stabilize the nation have been thwarted, as armed groups escalate their assaults and defy governmental authority. Despite calls for his resignation, Henry remains resolute, underscoring the urgency for a unified global response to Haiti’s escalating crisis.
