"US Military Bolsters Embassy Security Amid Escalating Gang Violence in Haiti"

The US military has flown in forces to increase security at the US Embassy in Haiti amidst worsening gang attacks, with nonessential personnel being allowed to leave. Efforts to aid Haitian police and arrange a UN-authorized security deployment have been unsuccessful, and Caribbean leaders have called for an emergency meeting to address the dire situation in Haiti. The embattled Haitian prime minister remains unable to return home, and the country continues to grapple with escalating gang violence, leading to a state of emergency and nightly curfew.
