Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, is currently experiencing severe unrest as gangs, running 90% of the nation, vie for control, leading to widespread violence and poverty. Sky News' chief correspondent, Stuart Ramsay, reports from the ground, describing the situation as a battlefield, with ordinary people and vigilantes fighting 'tooth and nail' against gang attacks. The chaos has resulted in a dire humanitarian crisis, with nearly half of Haiti's population facing acute hunger. The situation has been exacerbated by the resignation of Haiti's prime minister, further destabilizing the nation. Many Haitians are attempting to flee the violence, heading north from the capital in search of safety. The United Nations has highlighted the critical need for aid, stating that half of Haiti's population is struggling with acute hunger and access to essential services like food, education, and healthcare has been severely compromised. Ramsay's first-hand account emphasizes, "This is a battlefield," underscoring the gravity of the crisis.
