UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has described the situation in Haiti as a "living nightmare" due to the violence caused by armed gangs. He has called for an international armed force to support the National Police, as armed groups control access to food, healthcare, and undermine humanitarian support in the capital, Port-au-Prince. Guterres emphasized that the force should work alongside the Haitian National Police to dismantle the gangs and restore security. However, nine months later, the UN Security Council has yet to authorize a force, and no country has stepped up to lead it. The Caribbean bloc CARICOM has also urged urgent action.
