Haiti Gang Violence and Flooding

The poorest country in the Americas remains under extreme pressure from armed groups, who are adapting their tactics despite an international crackdown.

In the commune of Marigot, armed men set fire to a police station, prompting the mayor to appeal for urgent government intervention.

Meanwhile, heavy rains in the northwest have flooded farmland and a local hospital, displacing thousands of residents.

The United Nations reports that while some gang expansion has been halted, the security threat to civilians persists across the capital.
