"Humanitarian Crisis: Haiti's Healthcare System Struggles Amid Gang Violence"

Haiti's healthcare system is on the verge of collapse as gang warfare rages on, leaving hospitals set ablaze, doctors murdered, and medical supplies dried up. The violence has forced healthcare workers to stay home, leaving patients without essential medical care. The crisis has caused unnecessary deaths among pregnant women and elderly people, and the population is facing hunger, water scarcity, and daily violence. The international community is backing a plan for a transitional council to take over, but key factions and gang leaders have rejected any solution. NGOs are struggling to operate mobile clinics and fear running out of essential medical supplies.

"Dominican Republic Implements Border Closure Amidst Canal Dispute with Haiti"

The Dominican Republic has threatened to seal its border with Haiti in the Dajabon province if a conflict over access to water from a shared river is not resolved soon. The Dominican government accuses Haiti of violating a treaty by unilaterally launching construction on a canal diverting water from the Massacre River. The Dominican Republic has been tightening its border security due to worsening gang warfare in Haiti. The border closure would include land, maritime, and air commerce, and new visas for Haitians would be suspended. The Dominican president emphasized that his country's military will ensure border security and that negotiations will not be held with Haitian gangs.

Kenyan and Haitian Officials Collaborate to Combat Gang Violence

A Kenyan delegation has met with leaders of Haiti's national police to assess the possibility of leading a United Nations-backed multinational security force to combat escalating gang warfare in the country. The delegation, which arrived in Haiti on Sunday, will hold meetings with senior police staff and Haiti's Prime Minister during their visit. Haiti's government had previously requested international security assistance, and Kenya's offer to lead such a force last month has garnered support from the United States. The plan to send a security force to Haiti will be voted on by the U.N. Security Council after the Kenyan assessment. The force is expected to focus on restoring order, disarming gangs, and re-establishing access routes for basic services.
