Haiti Gripped by Gang Violence Amid Deepening Humanitarian Crisis

Thousands displaced and millions face hunger as gangs demand Prime Minister Ariel Henry's resignation, exacerbating an already dire situation.

Gangs have taken control of parts of Port-au-Prince, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who has agreed to resign once a transitional government is in place.
The violence has displaced thousands and put millions at risk of hunger, with the UN and UNICEF highlighting the severe impact on children's health and nutrition.
A state of emergency was declared on March 3 after gangs attacked several prisons, releasing thousands of prisoners, and targeted key infrastructure including schools and hospitals.
International efforts to stabilize the situation include the formation of a transitional presidential council, but disagreements and delays have hindered progress.
Despite the violence, some aid has reached those in need, with UNICEF and the World Food Program providing water and meals to displaced Haitians.
