Haiti nears critical threshold as gang violence continues to escalate, UN says

ai generated text

Haiti is facing a severe crisis of escalating gang violence and severe political instability. According to Maria Isabel Salvador, the UN special representative, the country is approaching a "point of no return" and could potentially face "total chaos". This is due to the nation's inability to respond effectively to the rising violence and political unrest. The country is currently under the control of rival armed gangs, with swaths of the nation struggling to cope with the situation.
