In recent weeks, Haiti has witnessed a dramatic rise in gang violence, resulting in the displacement of over 20,000 residents from the capital, Port-au-Prince. The conflict intensified with a failed gang attack on a suburban area that left more than two dozen individuals dead. In response, Haitian police and civilians joined forces, reportedly killing at least 28 suspected gang members during the confrontation in Pétion-Ville. This violent backlash against gangs has led to scenes of chaos, with bodies lying in the streets and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis unfolding as families are unable to access adopted children due to the unrest. Local residents are increasingly expressing their frustration and fear, with many indicating that the situation has worsened substantially, prompting calls for more international assistance as the rule of gangs takes hold.
