Haiti Brings World's Most Violent Year Closer as Gang Violence Reaches New Highs

Haiti is nearing a 'point of no return' as gang violence surges, according to the top United Nations official in the country. Maria Isabel Salvador described the situation as critical, warning that the country's response to escalating violence was at risk of collapse. The UN has been increasingly concerned about the rise of gangs in Haiti, which have been responsible for widespread kidnappings and killings. With no clear end in sight, Salvador warned that the consequences could be catastrophic if left unchecked.
