Escalating Gang Violence in Haiti Displaces Thousands

Gangs in Port-au-Prince intensify attacks, forcing mass evacuations and worsening humanitarian crisis.

Gang coalition Viv Ansanm has expanded its control in Port-au-Prince, attacking neighborhoods like Solino and Nazon.
Recent attacks have displaced thousands, with the total number of displaced Haitians nearly doubling to 700,000 in three months.
The humanitarian crisis is severe, with 5.4 million Haitians facing acute hunger and pockets of famine-level conditions among displaced individuals.
A U.N. helicopter was shot at while aiding relief efforts, highlighting the risks faced by international missions in the area.
Criticism mounts over the under-resourced U.N.-backed mission, with calls for a full U.N. peacekeeping intervention to replace the current Kenyan-led force.
