UN rights office calls for more action to combat 'senseless criminality' in Haiti

At least 3,661 people have been killed in Haiti since January due to rampant gang violence, "maintaining the high levels of violence seen in 2023," the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said in a report issued on Friday.

Tackling insecurity in the Caribbean country must be the utmost priority, the report said, urging the authorities and the international community to do more to protect people and prevent further suffering.
