Haitian Capital ‘Paralysed And Isolated’ By Gang Violence, Security Council Hears

UN officials told the Security Council that gang violence has paralyzed Haiti's capital, isolating it due to suspended flights. Over 4,000 killings were recorded since January. Gangs control more territory, crippling the state's capacity and worsening humanitarian crises. Rising vigilante groups fuel arms markets. Human rights violations, including sexual violence and human trafficking, are escalating, demanding urgent international action.
