"Haiti's Escalating Crisis: Gangs, Chaos, and Hunger"

Gang violence has plunged Haiti into one of its worst periods of chaos, with attacks on prisons freeing thousands of inmates and gunfire at the airport in Port-au-Prince suspending flights. The embattled prime minister, Ariel Henry, has been stranded in Puerto Rico, unable to return due to the gang takeover. The Biden administration is pressuring Mr. Henry to establish a presidential transitional council leading to elections, as doubts arise about a U.N.-sanctioned mission to quell the violence. The crisis is illustrated through powerful photographs capturing the upheaval and clashes between police and gang members in Port-au-Prince.
