Haiti nearing ‘point of no return’ amid gang violence, UN representative warns

Haiti is facing a catastrophic surge in gang violence, with authorities warning the nation is on the brink of total chaos due to growing vulnerability and inadequate state response. Rival armed gangs control key areas, fueling widespread murder, rape, and kidnappings while UN-intervention missions struggle to curb the violence despite international warnings and support. The country's escalating violence, including 2,660 homicides in three months and rising incidents of gender-based violence like collective rape, underscores the urgent need for immediate international aid to protect its people and restore security.
