Haiti is grappling with a severe increase in gang violence, with armed gangs attacking neighborhoods across the capital and even targeting UN helicopters midair. The situation has prompted the U.S. to evacuate 20 embassy staff amid intensifying threats, while over 10,000 Haitians have fled their homes due to the ongoing violence. The UN Security Council has condemned the worsening conflict, extending sanctions and an arms embargo on the nation as UNICEF officials brief on the humanitarian crisis. Calls for the return of UN peacekeepers are growing, as local police struggle against powerful gang coalitions attempting to seize control of the capital. Additionally, threats against government officials have risen, further complicating the already fragile political landscape.
