Haiti is experiencing a severe crisis with a significant increase in gang violence, leading to 1,660 deaths and 850 injuries in the first quarter of 2024, according to a new UN report. This period marks the most violent quarter since early 2022, with a 50% increase in deaths. The violence has escalated due to gangs targeting the unelected government more directly. Amidst this turmoil, the World Food Programme has expressed concerns about running out of food supplies due to the closure of a key port terminal and ongoing violence. The situation is exacerbated by a lagging international response, despite the rising death toll, with over 2,500 people dead or injured.
