In Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a UNICEF aid container with critical supplies for newborns and mothers was looted amid escalating gang violence and a deepening humanitarian crisis. This theft, along with others, has left essential items inaccessible. The healthcare system is in shambles, with limited access to basic health services and only a few functional hospitals due to shortages. Recent police operations against gangs led to fatalities, but the violence persists. The situation is dire, with most of the city controlled by gangs, blocking essential services and leaving citizens in a desperate state. Efforts are being made to address the crisis, such as establishing a UN air bridge for aid delivery.
