Haiti is facing a devastating surge in gang violence, with more than 3,661 killed in the first half of 2024 and over 700,000 displaced due to instability, while the UN warns against deporting migrants back to the country amid dire humanitarian conditions.
The Dominican Republic's decision to expel 10,000 Haitian migrants weekly comes despite international calls to prevent forced returns given the ongoing chaos in Haiti, revealing the urgency felt by its government to manage migrant populations.
Violence in Haiti is not new, but the recent escalation involving gang attacks on state institutions has thrown the country into deeper turmoil, leading to significant political instability and humanitarian crises.
While international interventions like the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission have been established to help, they face significant challenges, including a lack of funding and resources, severely limiting their impact on ground realities.
