Haiti is currently facing a dire humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by escalating gang violence and political instability. The situation has deteriorated significantly following the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, leaving the country without a transitional governing council. This power vacuum has led to renewed attacks in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and a struggle to reach consensus on forming a new seven-member governing body. Amidst this chaos, the Dominican Republic has tightened security along its border with Haiti, anticipating an influx of migrants. The violence and instability have had a devastating impact on the Haitian population, with about 50% in dire need of humanitarian aid. UNICEF reported that essential aid containers were looted at Haiti's port, highlighting the challenges in delivering assistance. The healthcare system is on the verge of collapse, with many hospitals closed or unable to operate at full capacity due to gang warfare. The international community is working to establish a transitional council for Haiti, but the chaos and struggle of everyday life persist for its citizens.
