UN Official Highlights Haiti’s Crisis

In a recent statement, a leading United Nations advocate has raised urgent concerns over the escalating crisis of sexual violence linked to gang activities in Haiti. The country, which has been in turmoil since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, is witnessing a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by rampant gang violence.

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the ongoing conflict has displaced over one million individuals, a significant portion of whom are children. This alarming situation has prompted international attention and calls for immediate intervention to protect vulnerable populations and restore stability in the region.

The UN advocate’s warning underscores the dire need for comprehensive measures to address the root causes of violence and support the affected communities. The international community is urged to provide assistance and work collaboratively to bring peace and security back to Haiti.
