Violence in Haiti continues as gang attacks persist, with at least 12 bodies found in an affluent neighbourhood near the capital. Gangs looted homes in other areas, leading to fears and pleas for help from residents. Despite promises of political change, gang violence shows no sign of stopping, causing shortages of food and medical care. The crisis, worsened by the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021, has led to attacks on vital infrastructure like power stations, making humanitarian aid delivery challenging. International efforts, including the possible deployment of a Kenyan-led police force, are being made to address the security and humanitarian crisis. The US has evacuated citizens due to limited travel options, as the situation in Haiti remains dire.
