Haiti is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by escalating gang violence and political instability. Hunger is soaring, and aid is dwindling as gangs suffocate the country, forcing nearly half of all Haitians to seek humanitarian aid, as reported by Evens Sanon & @danicacoto. The situation has deteriorated further following the resignation of Acting Prime Minister Ariel Henry, leading to a power vacuum. Satellite imagery of Port-au-Prince captured on March 14 shows deteriorating conditions, with roadblocks, burning debris, and trash blocking key routes near the city's main hospitals. Over one million Haitians are on the verge of famine, with armed groups taking control of the nation's capital. The Dominican Republic has responded by building a border wall and carrying out mass deportations of over 170,000 Haitian migrants. Amidst this chaos, international efforts to establish a transitional council have made little progress, and the healthcare system is on the verge of collapse. UNICEF reported that a container carrying essential aid was looted at a Haiti port, highlighting the dire need for humanitarian assistance. The UN children's agency chief described the situation as 'almost like a scene out of 'Mad Max,' depicting a violent and lawless post-apocalyptic future. According to the United Nations, 5.5 million Haitians need humanitarian assistance, and violence has displaced 15,000 in one week.

Going to delete previous tweet that incorrectly stated it was Supreme Court judge whose home was attacked this AM in #Haiti since I see it’s being RT. It’s a judge on the equivalent of the GAO, Haiti's cour des comptes. Judge Volmar Desmesyeux .

Much confusion this morning on whose house was targeted by gunmen in Laboule area of #Haiti. It’s not a member of the Supreme Court but the auditor’s court, Cour des Comptes. I stand corrected. Nevertheless folks in the area are very much in panic mode.
Haiti is an extreme case of a broader phenomenon. Violent gangs have taken over the capital and sought to overthrow the government, just as @realDonaldTrump's supporters did on January 6, 2021, Slavoj Žižek observes. https://t.co/3gwEsMiUED
Armed gunmen have attacked the home of a Supreme Court judge in #Haiti. This comes amid increased discussions about naming a judge to serve as “president,” rather than a council of 7 voting members & 2 alternatives. There’s a wave of panic in Laboule/ Thomassin area currently.
