"Haiti's Escalating Crisis: Gangs Target Airport, Leader's Whereabouts Unknown"
Armed gangs in Haiti attempted to seize control of the main international airport, engaging in gunfire with police and soldiers, following a mass escape from the country's two largest prisons. The escalating violence prompted the government to declare a state of emergency and impose a nighttime curfew. Gangs, which already control up to 80% of the capital, have targeted critical infrastructure and state institutions, leading to a surge in attacks and a deteriorating security situation. The United Nations has expressed deep concern and emphasized the urgent need for action to prevent further chaos in Haiti. The violence has displaced thousands of people and led to a plea for help from those affected.
