Haiti is facing an escalating crisis as gang violence surges, leading to the deaths of at least 150 people in the capital, Port-au-Prince, within a week. As vigilante groups respond to the chaos, over 100 suspected gang members have been killed. This wave of violence has forced more than 20,000 residents to flee their homes, plunging the country deeper into instability. The UN is contemplating a peacekeeping force amid calls for international intervention, but the situation remains dire as Russia and China oppose transitioning to a UN-led mission. The humanitarian crisis is critical, with children particularly affected by the violence, as they are forced into gangs or subjected to abuse. Communities are increasingly siding with police in an attempt to combat the rampant gang activity, yet solutions remain elusive.
