Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, risks being completely overrun by gangs and collapsing without more international support, warned UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
In a report presented to the UN Security Council, Guterres emphasized the urgency of bolstering Haiti's national police and the multinational force tasked with combating gang violence. "Time is of the essence," he said, adding that further delays could lead to a "catastrophic collapse of national security institutions."
