Haiti Grapples With Surge In Gang Violence

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - SEPTEMBER 14: Displaced women and children take shelter at a school gymnasium after fleeing their homes during gang attacks in Port-au-Prince on September 14, 2023 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Since mid-2023 schools, churches, and sports halls have been improvised as emergency shelters to house the sudden influx of displaced residents driven out of their homes by a surge of gang violence. As a Kenyan-led international force gets ready to help the Haitian police, Port-au-Prince and other territories are controlled by armed groups amid a gang violence surge that, according to UNICEF, has led to nearly 200,000 people displaced across the country and 130,000 in Port-au-Prince alone.
