Haiti is at a dire crossroads, with extreme levels of gang violence continuing to degrade State authority with 'no improvement in sight', a senior UN political affairs official told the Security Council on Wednesday.

'This is not just another wave of insecurity; it is a dramatic escalation that shows no signs of abating,' emphasised Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for the Americas at the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.
