Three million children in Haiti are in need of humanitarian assistance as continuing gang violence hampers aid delivery, the head of the UN children's agency, Unicef, has said.

Catherine Russell said the situation in gang-wracked Haiti was "catastrophic" and growing worse "by the day".

She told a meeting of the UN Security Council that in many areas essential services had collapsed.

Meanwhile, a transitional presidential council has still not been sworn in.

While Haiti has been blighted by gangs for years, the armed groups stepped up their attacks at the end of February when Prime Minister Ariel Henry travelled to Kenya to seal a deal for a multinational security force to be deployed to the Caribbean nation.

I wonder if even the dreaded and feared China will come in to “help” them?

China isn't that stupid.

Have them join the Ukrainian Army.

The Democrats have lots of money for them.

The only way to crush those gangs would be by officers with the immediate authority to execute on the street. Screw court dates and bond. Just DRT.

don’t send them to the USA please. Central America and Mexico have room for them by now.

[Bon of Babble]

How many of them will be flown into the heart of the U.S. in the middle of the night?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Keep them all there and let them sort it out with no “help” or other interference from outside. Eventually the strongest gang will take over everything, at which point it will be known as “the government”. Throughout practically all of history, that is how governments have come into being.

How long before the House of Representatives votes to send Haiti $10 Billion dollars and starts waving the Haitian flag from the floor of the Congress?

[FLT-bird]

Not our problem. Ring the entire island with warships to make sure they don’t come to the US.

“Does modern Haiti (today) boast of any intrinsic value or natural resources”

Salt water view land is very expensive in many places around the world.

Go for it UN it’s your job and for the Climate it’s OK

I think this is done on purpose to create vulnerable children that the pedophiles can take advantage of. They are doing the same thing with the children crossing our border. The media doesn't say much about all the victims being trafficked in this country. I'm not surprised to see the uniparty waving the flag of another sex trafficking hot spot like Ukraine. They're such sick bastards.

How long before we invade Haiti to bring order? To re-establish “democracy”? Maybe Papa Doc wasn’t so bad after all.I say let Russia have it, or China, or Cuba? If they want it.

[bobbo666]

Sounds like south Chicago.

Hey, UN, Pi$$ off. Not just on this issue, pretty much everything.

[sjmjax]

Haitians created the crisis. Let Haitians solve the crisis. Not our place to impose a solution on THEIR culture.
