Haiti’s Escalating Gang Violence: A Struggle for Survival Amidst Chaos

Haiti is facing severe gang violence, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis with 760,000 children on the brink of famine. The situation worsened after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, leading to 85% of Port-au-Prince under gang control. A Kenyan-led mission aims to restore order, but forces struggle against an overwhelming number of armed gangs. As violence increases, more children are recruited into gangs, highlighting the dire socio-economic conditions. Amidst the turmoil, families like Venda’s are desperate for help for their malnourished children.
