The UN Security Council is voting on whether to authorize an international force to support Haiti's police in response to a gang-driven security crisis. Kenya has offered to lead a multinational force of 1,000 police officers, while other countries like the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Antigua and Barbuda have pledged personnel. The United States has promised financial and logistical support. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry urged the Security Council to take urgent action, describing the worsening security situation as a humanitarian crisis. Henry believes that a force combining police and military personnel is necessary to restore government functionality and combat gang violence.
