In 2024, Haiti saw over 5,600 deaths due to gang violence, marking a 20% increase from the previous year. Over 2,200 were injured and nearly 1,500 kidnapped. The violence has left more than 700,000 homeless. The UN, led by a Kenyan mission, struggles to contain the crisis, with only 400 of the expected 2,500 officers deployed.
