Earlier this week, images emerged from inside Haiti revealing a security crisis fueled by escalating gang violence. The situation has taken a dire turn, with one gang leader warning of a potential genocide if Prime Minister Ariel Henry returns to the country. Henry, currently stranded outside Haiti, is unable to secure safe passage back home.
The United Nations reports that approximately 15,000 individuals have been forced to flee their homes due to the surging violence. Scenes of chaos and destruction are unfolding in Port-au-Prince, with banks being looted and ATMs smashed open. Powerful gangs have bombed several police stations, allowing them to roam freely through the streets.
