Au-Au-Prince: Haiti has seen a “wave of extreme brutality” in recent weeks, with numerous killings and thousands forced to escape their homes, a consortium of UN agencies, NGOs and donors is warned.
“Whole families have been brutally deleted in their homes, while others, including children and babies, were shot while trying to escape,” said the group, organized by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Declaration Monday.
Things control large portions of Haiti, including most of the capital, and violence has increased despite hundreds of police staff, as part of a multinational security assistance (MSS), led by Kenya.
“We are deeply alarmed and dismayed by the unacceptable and inhuman intensity of violence that ravages in Haiti, a wave of extreme bakery that, since the end of January, has led to the loss of many lives,” the group said.
He said that 4,000 people were forced to escape from the Kenscoff area in the Capital, along with another 2,000 from the municipalities of Delmas, Port-Au-Prince and Petion-Ville.
The group requested “all the parties involved in this violence to break this terror cycle and end this uncontrolled spiral.”
Fresh attacks took place on Monday night, said residents of two neighborhoods in the Capital.
“They set fire to our house with my father from the inside. It’s cruel,” said a resident who managed to flee the area for AFP.
Another said that the attack came early in the morning, while the vigilant security forces were resting. “The bandits attacked us by surprise,” she said.
Haiti, the poorest nation in America, has long been surrounded, but the conditions were seriously aggravated at the beginning of last year, when the gangs launched coordinated attacks in the Capital to force Minister Prime, Ariel Henry, to resign.
He taught the power of an interim government, which together with MSS has endeavored to recover the control from the bands.
The approved MSS has been approved has about 1,000 staff from six nations, although largely from Kenya, out of 2,500 initially expected. A Kenian officer died after being shot on Sunday.
UN officials have repeatedly requested more support for the mission and an increase in resources to the nation, where one million people are estimated by violence.

The UN registered 5,600 deaths related to tape violence last year, in an increase of 20 percent, compared to 2023, as well as 1,500 abductions, almost 6,000 cases of violence based on gender, of which 69 percent were cases of sexual aggression.
On Monday, Prime Minister Alix Didier Filasa said the authorities are “in war” with the gangs.
“We are endlessly employed to allow the police, the army and the MSS to put the gangs in the action,” he promised in a speech to mark 100 days in office.
