Part 7/9:
Haiti's police force, numbering only around 10,000 officers, is vastly outgunned by over 200 gangs operating across the country. The situation has become so critical that the Haitian government is seeking international aid. Multiple nations—including the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benin, and Chad—have expressed willingness to contribute personnel toward forming an international peacekeeping force to stabilize the country.
The consequences of Haiti's chaos extend beyond its borders. The violence has driven hundreds of thousands of Haitians to seek refuge in the United States, with many arriving in unsafe and precarious circumstances. Without a significant decline in violence, these numbers are expected to grow, creating further humanitarian challenges.
