The streets of Port-au-Prince are witnessing a surge in violence as gangs intensify their attacks on public facilities, heightening the crisis in Haiti. The turmoil follows Prime Minister Ariel Henry's announcement on March 11 to resign after establishing a transitional presidential council, a move aimed at stabilizing the nation's governance.
Despite these efforts, the security situation remains precarious. Gangs are not only threatening public safety but are also hindering the delivery of much-needed humanitarian aid, exacerbating the hardships faced by residents. The relentless assaults have left many without shelter, as reported by locals who have seen their homes looted and destroyed.
Residents express deep frustration and fear as the continual unrest disrupts daily life and undermines hopes for a peaceful transition. The international community watches closely, recognizing the urgent need for effective solutions to restore stability and ensure the well-being of Haiti's people.
