"Amid Haiti Crisis, UN Maternity Aid Looted in Port-au-Prince"

A container carrying essential maternity and neonatal supplies, as well as early childhood development and education equipment, was looted in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, amid worsening gang violence and a humanitarian crisis. UNICEF representative Bruno Maes condemned the theft, emphasizing the critical need for these supplies in a collapsing healthcare system. With 80% of Port-au-Prince controlled by gangs and limited access to essential resources, including food, fuel, and medical supplies, the situation has led to a humanitarian catastrophe, prompting UN efforts to establish an air bridge for aid delivery.
